These are processes, [[System V Shared Memory]] segments and [[System V Semaphores]]. Examples below are from a system running AIX. Other UNIX systems may be subtly different. == Processes == The fastest way to clean up all processes is to become the <tt>sidadm</tt> user and issue <tt>kill -1 -1</tt>, which will send SIGHUP to all processes owned by <tt>sidadm</tt>. SIGHUP can be trapped by processes, but does give them a chance to shutdown more gracefully. Be aware that if the system has paged any processes out into [[swap space]], they may take some time to exit. Additionally, it is not unusual for the shell initiating the kill to also be killed. Any remaining processes can be individually killed with <tt>kill -9 <pid></tt>. # su - sidadm sidadm$ ps ux | head -6 USER PID %CPU %MEM SZ RSS TTY STAT STIME TIME COMMAND sidadm 516350 0.7 3.0 455268 457300 - A May 17 569:58 dw.sapSID_D10 pf sidadm 508154 0.4 1.0 102812 104568 - A May 17 362:39 dw.sapSID_D10 pf sidadm 483462 0.4 1.0 91172 93060 - A May 17 296:33 dw.sapSID_D10 pf sidadm 512252 0.3 3.0 390192 392192 - A May 17 275:30 dw.sapSID_D10 pf sidadm 471264 0.3 1.0 83328 85096 - A May 17 258:40 dw.sapSID_D10 pf sidadm$ kill -1 -1 Hangup # su - sidadm sidadm$ ps ux USER PID %CPU %MEM SZ RSS TTY STAT STIME TIME COMMAND sidadm 651328 0.0 0.0 27964 27360 - A May 17 0:04 [disp+wor] sidadm 917540 0.0 0.0 804 844 pts/1 A 18:57:50 0:00 ksh sidadm 938072 0.0 0.0 456 472 pts/1 A 18:58:13 0:00 ps ux sidadm$ kill -9 651328 sidadm$ ps ux USER PID %CPU %MEM SZ RSS TTY STAT STIME TIME COMMAND sidadm 917540 0.0 0.0 804 844 pts/1 A 18:57:50 0:00 ksh sidadm 938078 0.0 0.0 456 472 pts/1 A 18:58:30 0:00 ps ux sidadm$ == System V Shared Memory == SAP is a heavy user of shared memory, and these must be cleaned up before SAP will successfully restart.

Other UNIX systems may be subtly different. == Processes == The fastest way to clean up all processes is to become the <tt>sidadm</tt> user and issue <tt>kill -1 -1</tt>, which will send SIGHUP to all processes owned by <tt>sidadm</tt>. SIGHUP can be trapped by processes, but does give them a chance to shutdown more gracefully.

Mainly written under Darwin and NetBSD, tested under Linux, Solaris, Tru64 and AIX. From the README: iotools consists of two simple programs: ; fblckgen : "Fast Block Generator" - generates blocks of data, either a repeating ascii sequence which is very compressible, or a pseudo- random binary sequence, which, although very simple, does not compress. Very handy for benchmarking tape drives, or just making a sized lump of data. Although the random generator is extremely simple, designed first to be fast, I have used this to wipe/scrub/erase disks under various Unices. The more paranoid you happen to be, the more iterations you should run. By using double buffering and either pthreads or multiple processes, it can generally keep a tape drive busy. E.g. On an AIX box, with IBM 3580 Ultrium fiber attached drives: ksh$ fblckgen -a -b 256k -c 4k > /dev/rmt1.1 1073741824 bytes written in 28.134 secs (37270.292 KiB/sec) ksh$ fblckgen -r -b 256k -c 4k > /dev/rmt1.1 1073741824 bytes written in 71.960 secs (14571.677 KiB/sec) : And to demonstrate compressibility, on my aging Mac OS X laptop: ksh$ fblckgen -a -b 256k -c 40 | gzip -9v > /dev/null 10485760 bytes written in 2.071 secs (4944.402 KiB/sec) 99.6% ksh$ fblckgen -r -b 256k -c 40 | gzip -9v > /dev/null 10485760 bytes written in 7.588 secs (1349.425 KiB/sec) 0.0% : When used in "random" mode, it can be used to find the approximate native capacity of a given tape. E.g. On my NetBSD system, with a AIT-1 drive (SONY SDX-300C) and 170m tape: ksh$ fblckgen -r -b 64k -c 640k > /dev/nrst1 Write failed: Input/output error -1 bytes, 348667 full blocks written. 22850240512 bytes written in 8016.739 secs (2783.512 KiB/sec) ; iohammer : It does what it says - very similar to a tool named "rawio" floating out on the 'net. Using multiple threads (either pthreads or multiple processes) iohammer will issue random I/Os, with a percentage based write ratio to a file or raw device. Good for comparing different disk layouts (RAID5, RAID0, RAID1, RAID0+1, RAID3, etc), stripe unit sizes, and general disk random I/O performance. Very good to see the difference the queue_depth parameter makes under AIX!

Also made use of the Performance Monitor interrupt to maintain a set of per-cpu 64-bit counters, so samples over larger timescales would make sense (no wrapping). Completed as part of my Honours Computer Science degree at the [http://www.uow.edu.au/ University of Wollongong], Australia. Originally written against Mac OS X 10.0.?, still merges in, compiles and runs fine on 10.2.3. If you are planning on downloading these, I strongly recommend downloading documentation for your particular PowerPC processor from [http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/homepage.jsp?nodeId=0162468rH3bTdG Freescale's web site]. Why a kernel modification you may ask? Why not IOKit? The osfmk portion of the kernel seems to be the only place where you can really control on which CPU you're doing what. So for SMP, that's the choice made. Since releasing the code, I've been made aware of Apple's own work in this area (thanks, Dave).

Command line tools may break on Jaguar, due to the C99 conformance changing long long (64-bit quad-int) stdio behaviour. Update: Still works fine on Jaguar - although %llu (or the PRId64 macro) is more correct, %qu still works fine. setmmcr and clrpmc require root privileges to run, the Cocoa app uses the authentication framework to run setmmcr and clrpmc as required. To build these, you'll need to install the two changed headers (<mach/processor_info.h> and <mach/ppc/processor_info.h>) and run fixPrecomps.

The order of the disk names generally does not cause errors, but it may cause confusion for the user. Run the following '''dsksync''' script to alleviate such confusion. The script renames the hard disks. The order of the disks' names after you reboot the machine will be determined on the order they are detected by the device configuration process. For instance, a disk at the address 00-00-0S-00 will be numbered before a disk at the address 00-00-0S-20 or 00-05-00-00. This document applies to AIX Versions 3.1 through 4.2 on the RS/6000. === Procedure === Before running this script, make sure the key is in Normal position. lsdev -Cc disk | awk '{ print $1 }' | while read HDname; do odmdelete -q "name = $HDname " -o CuAt odmdelete -q "value = $HDname " -o CuAt odmdelete -q "name = $HDname " -o CuDv odmdelete -q "value3 = $HDname " -o CuDvDr odmdelete -q "name = $HDname " -o CuVPD done rm -f /dev/hdisk* rm -f /dev/rhdisk* savebase When the shell script completes successfully, run ihe following command to shut down and reboot. shutdown -Fr [[Category:AIX]] 1ab9a2658044337ab6df8e751d85586633521ebf 0 757 903 800 2005-07-17T08:02:59Z Stix 2 /* See Also */ Add link to RFC 3339 wikitext text/x-wiki Here in this modern world, things should be simple and unambiguous.

The "MM/DD/YY" format is common in U.S.A., here in Australia and in the UK the format "DD/MM/YY" is widely used. And in Europe and parts of Asia, "YY/MM/DD" is in common use. So what can be done? Simple, follow the standard: ISO 8601:1988 - International Date Format. For dates, this standard recommends the following format: <center>'''YYYY-MM-DD'''</center> This format has a few advantages: # It is unambiguous. A useful trait, one would think. # It has a consistent length. # It may be easily sorted (for those UNIX geeks, think <tt>sort</tt>(1)). # It is recognised by far more people world wide than any other format. # It is consistent with common time formats (HH:MM:SS), that is, most significant units come first. # It is a '''standard''', from the [http://www.iso.ch/ International Organisation for Standardisation].

It is not the number of objects examined, which would be far higher. [[IBM]] recommend that the Expiration Rate be greater than 3800000 objects per hour. The following [[TSM SQL]] query will print the expiration rate for recent expiration runs: select activity, - cast ((end_time) as date) as "Date", - (examined/cast ((end_time-start_time) seconds as decimal (18,13))*3600) "Obj/Hr" - from summary - where activity='EXPIRATION' and days (end_time) - days (start_time) = 0 To improve the expiration rate, there are several points to keep in mind: * expiration is a single thread, from a processor perspective * on a system with fast enough CPUs, expiration quickly becomes I/O bound, generating random I/O to the database volumes * a high cache hit percentage is critical to obtaining a high expiration rate [[Category:TSM]] e95b0a429bef74935cdc2467c19c7987497f36fa 0 814 1729 2005-08-05T03:12:46Z Stix 2 wikitext text/x-wiki After running <tt>oslevel</tt>, some cache files are created in <tt>/tmp/.oslevel.datafiles/</tt> which contain mappings between installed APARs, Filesets and Maintenance Levels.

At any time, my CD player is likely to contain anything from [http://www.enya.com/ Enya], [http://www.endorphin.tv/ Endorphin], Gatecrasher, [http://www.enigma.de/ Enigma], Live, Veruca Salt, Ganggajang, Air (the French band), [http://www.ebtg.com/ Everything But The Girl], the Corrs, Ben Folds Five, Stone Temple Pilots, modern jazz with Marc Moulin, or straight classical (Bach, Ravel, Mozart, Handel, Strauss, Rachmaninov, Vivaldi, Schubert, ...). And as for radio, there's basically only four stations worth listening to in Aus: [http://abc.net.au/radio/localradio/ ABC Local Radio], [http://abc.net.au/rn/ ABC Radio National] (for news and sport (think cricket)), [http://abc.net.au/classic/ ABC Classic FM] and ABC's "youth radio" [http://abc.net.au/triplej/ TripleJ]. You can even listen to the J's on the [http://abc.net.au/triplej/listen/default.htm 'Net]. In case you hadn't guessed, my radio's usually stuck on JJJ. At home, I have a nice [http://www.yamahamusic.com.au/ Yamaha] [http://www.yamahamusic.com.au/products/avit/htavreceivers/RX-V757B.asp RX-V757B] receiver/amp (upgraded from an RX-V2092), with 5-channels worth of Aaron speakers - a pair of ATS-5 speakers at the front, a pair of ATS-1 speakers for the rear, and a CC-240 centre speaker. Very happy with the setup, a very clean, natural sound. The room is small enough for the ATS-5s to pump out enough bass, without annoying the neighbours too much.

I originally purchased a [http://www.dgtec.com.au/ DGTEC] [http://www.dgtec.com.au/?page=dg-hd804 DG-HD804] set-top box, but due to problems and a fairly crude interface, I've swapped to a [http://www.strong.com.au/ Strong Technologies] [http://www.strong.com.au/frmProdDetails.aspx?id=89 SRT 5400] which appears to be a far better, if more expensive, unit. I also have a 3rd Generation 40 GB [http://www.apple.com/ipod/ iPod], which is still surviving well, after being used cycling, in the car and hooked up to the rest of the gear above. I originally filled my iPod using [http://www.netbsd.org NetBSD] and [http://www.gnu.org/software/gnupod/ gnupod], but I'm now giving [http://www.gtkpod.org/about.html gtkpod] a whirl. === Sport === I'm not overly athletic, but I do play tennis around three or four times a week, playing in the [http://www.tenniswollongong.com.au/ Wollongong District] Mens Wednesday Night Comp, and the Saturday Afternoon Mixed Comp, and often Sunday afternoon social game at my home courts at Wiseman Park, in Wollongong. I'm almost a B-grade player, but a shoulder injury (rotator-cuff partial tear) has held me back somewhat. I also try to get some cycling in, with the cycleway only a few hundred metres from my unit, there's no excuses. During the summer months I'm more keen to ride, my goal being to ride to work at least a couple of times a week (only 11 km each way). A goal that hasn't been realised. As well as these, I was introduced to skiing at an early age, with my parents both being ski instructors at various times. Although during high school, downhill skiing wasn't quite in the budget, so I enjoyed some cross-country skiiing (traditional, not skating). Now, with a good job, I try to get a weeks downhill skiing in each year, with some cross country skiing on the side. Being a member of the [http://www.iacski.com/ Illawarra Alpine Club (IAC)] means I get great accommodation. === Computers === I'm a regular lurker on the [http://www.netbsd.org/MailingLists/ NetBSD], [http://developer.apple.com/darwin/mail.html Darwin] and [http://my.adsm.org/adsm-l.php TSM] (Tivoli Storage Manager) mailing lists, mainly learning and questioning, but responding when there's time. Also, I'm a part time hobbyist programmer in a variety of languages, my current choices being C, Perl, Objective-C, C++ and Java, probably in that order, although as in my [[Résumé]], I've touched a great deal more over the years.

Support said they are not possible. ; Failed client install overwrites client on server : I've seen this happen twice, once with 3.4, once with 4.5. The first we believe was due to rsh/rcp failure, which resulted in a Solaris client being installed on the AIX server. Oops. ; "hung" or slow restores : Idle tape drives, required tapes not busy, but restore doesn't start. No idea why. Restarting NetBackup on the Master seems to help. ; Unbalanced vaulting processes : Images appear to be split between vaulting processes with no regard given to size. One process may complete after only 1 hour, leaving the other running for 10 hours. ; multi-volume catalog backups can't be restored : This is improved in V5. This means that master servers do not scale well at all. I would suggest people wanting a timely DR to rsync the <tt>images</tt> directory within the NetBackup catalog to their DR system. ; LTO drives must be defined as DLT : Small issue with 4.5, but confusing to new admins. Under version 5, LTO are configured as "hcart". ; tape drive H/W or media problems : can abort client backups, and if multiplexing, multiple client backups. Also can abort vaulting (duplication). ; vault <tt>preview.list</tt> contains ITC images : <tt>preview.list</tt> contains the list of images to duplicate when vaulting. However, it includes Inline Tape Copy (ITC) images, which don't actually get duplicated. ; aborted vault leaves tapes in library : An aborted vault will leave the partially completed vault tapes in the library, and if a vault is re-run, images successfully duplicated from the first run are not re-processed (as expected), but the tapes form the first run are not ejected, either.

While this may be great for an NFS server, SMTP relay or web server, it is very poor for running any application which does its own cache management. This includes most databases (Oracle, DB2, Sybase, PostgreSQL, MySQL using InnoDB tables, TSM) and some other software (eg. the Squid web cache). Common symptoms include high paging (high <tt>pgspin</tt> and <tt>pgspout</tt> in <tt>[[topas]]</tt>), high system CPU time, the [[lrud kernel thread]] using CPU, slow overall system throughput, slow backups and slow process startup. For most database systems, the ideal solution is to use [[raw logical volumes]]. If this is not acceptable, then [[direct I/O]] and [[concurrent I/O]] should be used. If for some reason this is not possible, then the last solution is to tune the [[AIX]] file caches to be less aggressive. == Parameters == The three main parameters that should be tuned are those controlling the size of the persistent file cache (<tt>minperm%</tt> and <tt>maxperm%</tt>) used for JFS filesystems, and the client file cache (<tt>maxclient%</tt>) used by NFS, CDRFS and JFS2 filesystems ; numperm% : Defines the current size of the persistent file cache. ; minperm% : Defines the minimum amount of RAM the persistent file cache may occupy. If <tt>numperm%</tt> is less than or equal to <tt>minperm%</tt>, file pages will not be stolen when RAM is required. ; maxperm% : Defines the maximum amount of RAM the persistent file cache may occupy before it is used as the sole source of new pages by the page stealing algorithm. By default, <tt>numperm%</tt> may exceed <tt>maxperm%</tt> if there is free memory available. The setting <tt>strict_maxperm</tt> may be set to one to change <tt>maxperm%</tt> into a hard limit, guaranteeing <tt>numperm%</tt> will never exceed <tt>maxperm%</tt>. ; strict_maxperm : As above, if set to 1, changes <tt>maxperm%</tt> into a hard limit. ; numclient% : Defines the current size of the client file cache. ; maxclient% : Defines the hard maximum size of the client file cache. ; strict_maxclient : Introduced in 5.2 ML4, allows the changing of <tt>maxclient%</tt> into a soft limit, similar to <tt>strict_maxperm</tt>. Note that <tt>maxclient%</tt> may never exceed <tt>maxperm%</tt>. In later versions of vmtune, this is enforced by changing both parameters if necessary. == Tuning for AIX 5.1 and Earlier == The tool to use is <tt>/usr/samples/kernel/vmtune<tt>, installed as part of the <tt>bos.adt.samples</tt> fileset. If run without options, it will display the currently configured tuneable values, and some of the current runtime values. '''Note:''' vmtume may be used to set the current runtime parameters only. To have changes take effect on reboot, vmtune must be initiated as part of the system startups. An example of a tuning command used on a system running Oracle may be: # /usr/samples/kernel/vmtune -p 3 -P 5 -h 1 -t 5 Which sets <tt>minperm%</tt> to 3%, <tt>maxperm%</tt> and <tt>maxclient%</tt> to 5%, and enables <tt>strict_maxperm</tt>. == Tuning for AIX 5.2 and Later == '''Note:''' AIX 5.2 includes a compatibilty version of <tt>vmtune</tt>. It is probably most wise to become familiar with the new tools, instead of relying on the backwards compatibility commands. The main tool to use is <tt>/usr/sbin/vmo</tt>, installed as part of the <tt>bos.perf.tune</tt> fileset. To display current cache sizes (<tt>numperm%</tt> and <tt>numclient%</tt>) use <tt>vmstat -v</tt>. <tt>vmo</tt> can change both persistent (reboot) values as well as runtime values, and so does not need to be present in the startups.

If <tt>numperm%</tt> is less than or equal to <tt>minperm%</tt>, file pages will not be stolen when RAM is required. ; maxperm% : Defines the maximum amount of RAM the persistent file cache may occupy before it is used as the sole source of new pages by the page stealing algorithm. By default, <tt>numperm%</tt> may exceed <tt>maxperm%</tt> if there is free memory available. The setting <tt>strict_maxperm</tt> may be set to one to change <tt>maxperm%</tt> into a hard limit, guaranteeing <tt>numperm%</tt> will never exceed <tt>maxperm%</tt>. ; strict_maxperm : As above, if set to 1, changes <tt>maxperm%</tt> into a hard limit. ; numclient% : Defines the current size of the client file cache. ; maxclient% : Defines the hard maximum size of the client file cache. ; strict_maxclient : Introduced in 5.2 ML4, allows the changing of <tt>maxclient%</tt> into a soft limit, similar to <tt>strict_maxperm</tt>. Note that <tt>maxclient%</tt> may never exceed <tt>maxperm%</tt>. In later versions of vmtune, this is enforced by changing both parameters if necessary. == Tuning for AIX 5.1 and Earlier == The tool to use is <tt>/usr/samples/kernel/vmtune<tt>, installed as part of the <tt>bos.adt.samples</tt> fileset. If run without options, it will display the currently configured tuneable values, and some of the current runtime values. '''Note:''' vmtume may be used to set the current runtime parameters only. To have changes take effect on reboot, vmtune must be initiated as part of the system startups. An example of a tuning command used on a system running Oracle may be: # /usr/samples/kernel/vmtune -p 3 -P 5 -h 1 -t 5 Which sets <tt>minperm%</tt> to 3%, <tt>maxperm%</tt> and <tt>maxclient%</tt> to 5%, and enables <tt>strict_maxperm</tt>. == Tuning for AIX 5.2 and Later == '''Note:''' AIX 5.2 includes a compatibilty version of <tt>vmtune</tt>. It is probably most wise to become familiar with the new tools, instead of relying on the backwards compatibility commands. The main tool to use is <tt>/usr/sbin/vmo</tt>, installed as part of the <tt>bos.perf.tune</tt> fileset. To display current cache sizes (<tt>numperm%</tt> and <tt>numclient%</tt>) use <tt>vmstat -v</tt>. <tt>vmo</tt> can change both persistent (reboot) values as well as runtime values, and so does not need to be present in the startups. It stores the persistent values in the <tt>/etc/tunables/nextboot</tt> file.

While this may be great for an NFS server, SMTP relay or web server, it is very poor for running any application which does its own cache management. This includes most databases (Oracle, DB2, Sybase, PostgreSQL, MySQL using InnoDB tables, TSM) and some other software (eg. the Squid web cache). Common symptoms include high paging (high <tt>pgspin</tt> and <tt>pgspout</tt> in <tt>[[topas]]</tt>), high system CPU time, the [[lrud kernel thread]] using CPU, slow overall system throughput, slow backups and slow process startup. For most database systems, the ideal solution is to use [[raw logical volumes]]. If this is not acceptable, then [[direct I/O]] and [[concurrent I/O]] should be used.

The order of the disk names generally does not cause errors, but it may cause confusion for the user. Run the following '''dsksync''' script to alleviate such confusion. The script renames the hard disks. The order of the disks' names after you reboot the machine will be determined on the order they are detected by the device configuration process. For instance, a disk at the address 00-00-0S-00 will be numbered before a disk at the address 00-00-0S-20 or 00-05-00-00. This document applies to AIX Versions 3.1 through 4.2 on the RS/6000. === Procedure === Before running this script, make sure the key is in Normal position. lsdev -Cc disk | awk '{ print $1 }' | while read HDname; do odmdelete -q "name = $HDname " -o CuAt odmdelete -q "value = $HDname " -o CuAt odmdelete -q "name = $HDname " -o CuDv odmdelete -q "value3 = $HDname " -o CuDvDr odmdelete -q "name = $HDname " -o CuVPD done rm -f /dev/hdisk* rm -f /dev/rhdisk* savebase When the shell script completes successfully, run the following command to shut down and reboot. shutdown -Fr [[Category:AIX]] 667495752bd320dd6ed1bf55f123ecf52fd7e140 0 785 852 838 2005-12-04T08:48:14Z Stix 2 /* Employment */ Fix link wikitext text/x-wiki == General == === Where I call home === I live by myself in a two bedroom unit in North Wollongong, NSW, Australia, after growing up on a 100 acre (40.5 hectare) hobby farm near Nowra. === Employment === I currently work as a UNIX Systems Administrator for [http://www.csc.com/au CSC Australia], working in a team of around 12, with a variety of technologies on a number of different contracts. === Education === Graduated with Bachelor of Computer Science with First Class Honours in 2001 from the [http://www.uow.edu.au University of Wollongong], completing the degree part-time starting 1993.

Feeling the heat from the police force, they decided to use a deaf person for this job--if he were to get caught, he wouldn't be able to communicate to the police what he was doing. Well, on his first week, the deaf collector picks up over $50,000. He gets greedy, decides to keep the money and stashes it in a safe place. The Mafia soon realizes that their collection is late, and sends some of their hoods after the deaf collector. The hoods find the deaf collector and ask him where the money is. The deaf collector can't communicate with them, so the Mafia drags the guy to an interpreter. The Mafia hood says to the interpreter, "Ask him where da money is." The interpreter signs, "Where's the money?" The deaf replies, "I don't know what you're talking about." The interpreter tells the hood, "He says he doesn't know what you're talking about." The hood pulls out a .38 gun and places it in the ear of the deaf collector. "NOW ask him where da money is." The interpreter signs, "Where is the money?" The deaf man replies, "The $50,000 is in Central Park, hidden in the third tree stump on the left from the West 78th Street gate." The interpreter says to the hood, "He says he still doesn't know what you're talking about, and doesn't think you have the balls to pull the trigger."

Mainly written under Darwin and NetBSD, tested under Linux, Solaris, Tru64 and AIX. From the README: iotools consists of two simple programs: ; fblckgen : "Fast Block Generator" - generates blocks of data, either a repeating ascii sequence which is very compressible, or a pseudo- random binary sequence, which, although very simple, does not compress. Very handy for benchmarking tape drives, or just making a sized lump of data. Although the random generator is extremely simple, designed first to be fast, I have used this to wipe/scrub/erase disks under various Unices. The more paranoid you happen to be, the more iterations you should run. By using double buffering and either pthreads or multiple processes, it can generally keep a tape drive busy. E.g. On an AIX box, with IBM 3580 Ultrium fiber attached drives: ksh$ fblckgen -a -b 256k -c 4k > /dev/rmt1.1 1073741824 bytes written in 28.134 secs (37270.292 KiB/sec) ksh$ fblckgen -r -b 256k -c 4k > /dev/rmt1.1 1073741824 bytes written in 71.960 secs (14571.677 KiB/sec) : And to demonstrate compressibility, on my aging Mac OS X laptop: ksh$ fblckgen -a -b 256k -c 40 | gzip -9v > /dev/null 10485760 bytes written in 2.071 secs (4944.402 KiB/sec) 99.6% ksh$ fblckgen -r -b 256k -c 40 | gzip -9v > /dev/null 10485760 bytes written in 7.588 secs (1349.425 KiB/sec) 0.0% : When used in "random" mode, it can be used to find the approximate native capacity of a given tape. E.g. On my NetBSD system, with a AIT-1 drive (SONY SDX-300C) and 170m tape: ksh$ fblckgen -r -b 64k -c 640k > /dev/nrst1 Write failed: Input/output error -1 bytes, 348667 full blocks written. 22850240512 bytes written in 8016.739 secs (2783.512 KiB/sec) : And a HP Ultrium 230 LTO1 drive: ksh$ fblckgen -r -b 64k -c 0 > /dev/nrst1 Write failed: Input/output error -1 bytes, 1613201 full blocks written. 105722740736 bytes written in 7064.506 secs (14614.590 KB/sec) ; iohammer : It does what it says - very similar to a tool named "rawio" floating out on the 'net. Using multiple threads (either pthreads or multiple processes) iohammer will issue random I/Os, with a percentage based write ratio to a file or raw device. Good for comparing different disk layouts (RAID5, RAID0, RAID1, RAID0+1, RAID3, etc), stripe unit sizes, and general disk random I/O performance.

I'm almost a B-grade player, but a shoulder injury (rotator-cuff partial tear) has held me back somewhat. I also try to get some cycling in, with the cycleway only a few hundred metres from my unit, there's no excuses. During the summer months I'm more keen to ride, my goal being to ride to work at least a couple of times a week (only 11 km each way). A goal that hasn't been realised. As well as these, I was introduced to skiing at an early age, with my parents both being ski instructors at various times. Although during high school, downhill skiing wasn't quite in the budget, so I enjoyed some cross-country skiiing (traditional, not skating). Now, with a good job, I try to get a weeks downhill skiing in each year, with some cross country skiing on the side.

For example, <tt>bos.mp64.5.2.0.60</tt> is the 64-bit kernel in AIX 5.2, at fix level 60. The 5.2.0.60 is the '''VRMF''', or Version, Release, Modification/Maintenance level, and Fix. ; PTF : Program Temporary Fix. Appears to map to a Fileset, which may include fixes for part or all of one or more APARs. Usually seen in the format <tt>U9999999</tt>. That is, a U followed by six digits. ; PMR : Problem Management Record. Used to track a specific customer or internally reported problem. ; APAR : Authorized Program Analysis Report. This associates a fix/patch with a PMR. Initially, a temporary Emergency Fix (efix) may be released, followed by a PTF and its dependencies. These then periodically get rolled into an ML release. APARs are in the form IX99999 or IY99999. ; ML : Maintenance Level. A bundle of PTFs to bring AIX up to a known level. E.g. 5300-04 is AIX 5.3 ML 4. Now also called a '''Technology Level'''. ; Service Pack : A group of "important fixes" delivered between Technology Levels. E.g. 5300-04-01 is AIX 5.3 ML 4 Service Pack 1. When tracking requirements and susceptibility, it is best to either track filesets, APARs or MLs. PTFs may not be tracked by LPP, and so are not as useful.

All these are in use in various parts of our world, and can make life on the internet confusing, at the least. The "MM/DD/YY" format is common in U.S.A., here in Australia and in the UK the format "DD/MM/YY" is widely used. And in Europe and parts of Asia, "YY/MM/DD" is in common use. So what can be done? Simple, follow the standard: ISO 8601:1988 - International Date Format. For dates, this standard recommends the following format: <center>'''YYYY-MM-DD'''</center> This format has a few advantages: # It is unambiguous. A useful trait, one would think. # It has a consistent length. # It may be easily sorted (for those UNIX geeks, think <tt>sort</tt>(1)). # It is recognised by far more people world wide than any other format. # It is consistent with common time formats (HH:MM:SS), that is, most significant units come first. # It is a '''standard''', from the [http://www.iso.ch/ International Organisation for Standardisation].

If only this were true! Here's a simple example: <center>'''01/02/03'''</center> I now tell you that this is a date. When is it? * 1st February, 2003? * 2nd January, 2003? * 3rd February, 2001? All these are in use in various parts of our world, and can make life on the internet confusing, at the least. The "MM/DD/YY" format is common in U.S.A., here in Australia and in the UK the format "DD/MM/YY" is widely used. And in Europe and parts of Asia, "YY/MM/DD" is in common use. So what can be done? Simple, follow the standard: ISO 8601:1988 - International Date Format. For dates, this standard recommends the following format: <center>'''YYYY-MM-DD'''</center> This format has a few advantages: # It is unambiguous. A useful trait, one would think. # It has a consistent length. # It may be easily sorted (for those UNIX geeks, think <tt>sort</tt>(1)). # It is recognised by far more people world wide than any other format. # It is consistent with common time formats (HH:MM:SS), that is, most significant units come first. # It is a '''standard''', from the [http://www.iso.ch/ International Organisation for Standardisation].

changed back to last version by stix wikitext text/x-wiki Here in this modern world, things should be simple and unambiguous. If only this were true! Here's a simple example: <center>'''01/02/03'''</center> I now tell you that this is a date. When is it? * 1st February, 2003? * 2nd January, 2003? * 3rd February, 2001? All these are in use in various parts of our world, and can make life on the internet confusing, at the least. The "MM/DD/YY" format is common in U.S.A., here in Australia and in the UK the format "DD/MM/YY" is widely used. And in Europe and parts of Asia, "YY/MM/DD" is in common use. So what can be done? Simple, follow the standard: ISO 8601:1988 - International Date Format. For dates, this standard recommends the following format: <center>'''YYYY-MM-DD'''</center> This format has a few advantages: # It is unambiguous. A useful trait, one would think. # It has a consistent length. # It may be easily sorted (for those UNIX geeks, think <tt>sort</tt>(1)). # It is recognised by far more people world wide than any other format. # It is consistent with common time formats (HH:MM:SS), that is, most significant units come first. # It is a '''standard''', from the [http://www.iso.ch/ International Organisation for Standardisation]. Please, can we start using this? == See Also == * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601 ISO 8601] at [http://www.wikipedia.org www.wikipedia.org]. * [http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/iso-time.html A Summary of the International Standard Date and Time Notation] by [http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ Markus Kuhn]. * RFC 3339: Date and Time on the Internet: Timestamps.

This results in an apparent communications failure from the [[HMC]] when attempting DLPAR operations. This can be caused usually by cloning [[AIX]] systems via <tt>alt_disk_install</tt> or other more obtuse means (eg. moving one half of a mirrored rootvg between nodes). To check if this is the case, compare the 16 digit hexidecimal number in the first line of <tt>/etc/ct_node_id</tt>. The ct_node_id is used by the following: * LPARs * Dynamic LPARs * HACMP-ES * HACMP-ES-CRM * PSSP * CSM * GPFS * VSD * RVSD * Oracle Parallel Server * Oracle 9i RAC To assign a new ct_node_id, perform the following: # stopsrc -g rsct 0513-044 The ctrmc Subsystem was requested to stop. # /usr/sbin/rsct/install/bin/uncfgct -n # /usr/sbin/rsct/install/bin/cfgct 0513-071 The ctcas Subsystem has been added. 0513-071 The ctrmc Subsystem has been added. 0513-059 The ctrmc Subsystem has been started. Subsystem PID is 233648. The following may be required to re-configure rsct, although in tests it has not been required. # /usr/sbin/rsct/bin/rmcctrl -z # /usr/sbin/rsct/bin/rmcctrl -A 0513-071 The ctrmc Subsystem has been added. 0513-059 The ctrmc Subsystem has been started. Subsystem PID is 237814. # /usr/sbin/rsct/bin/rmcctrl -p After assigning a new ct_node_id, wait several minutes before trying the DLPAR operation. The HMC must re-synchronize its state before it will work. == See Also == * [http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/eserver/articles/DLPARchecklist.html Dynamic LPAR tips and checklists for RMC authentication and authorization].

The order of the disk names generally does not cause errors, but it may cause confusion for the user. Run the following '''dsksync''' script to alleviate such confusion. The script renames the hard disks. The order of the disks' names after you reboot the machine will be determined on the order they are detected by the device configuration process.

For example, <tt>bos.mp64.5.2.0.60</tt> is the 64-bit kernel in AIX 5.2, at fix level 60. The 5.2.0.60 is the '''VRMF''', or Version, Release, Modification/Maintenance level, and Fix. ; PTF : Program Temporary Fix. Appears to map to a Fileset, which may include fixes for part or all of one or more APARs. Usually seen in the format <tt>U9999999</tt>. That is, a U followed by six digits. ; PMR : Problem Management Record. Used to track a specific customer or internally reported problem. ; APAR : Authorized Program Analysis Report. This associates a fix/patch with a PMR. Initially, a temporary Emergency Fix (efix) may be released, followed by a PTF and its dependencies. These then periodically get rolled into an ML release. APARs are in the form IX99999 or IY99999. ; ML : Maintenance Level. A bundle of PTFs to bring AIX up to a known level. E.g. 5300-04 is AIX 5.3 ML 4. Now also called a '''Technology Level'''. ; Service Pack : A group of "important fixes" delivered between Technology Levels. E.g. 5300-04-01 is AIX 5.3 ML 4 Service Pack 1. When tracking requirements and susceptibility, it is best to either track filesets, APARs or MLs. PTFs may not be tracked by LPP, and so are not as useful.

Mainly written under NetBSD and Darwin, tested under AIX, Linux, Solaris and Tru64. From the README: ==== fblckgen ==== fblckgen generates blocks of data, either a repeating ascii sequence which is very compressible, or a pseudo-random binary sequence, which, although very simple, does not compress. Very handy for benchmarking tape drives, or just making a sized lump of data. By using double buffering and either pthreads or multiple processes, it can generally keep a tape drive busy.

Using multiple threads (either pthreads or multiple processes) iohammer will issue random I/Os, with a percentage based write ratio to a file or raw device. Good for comparing different disk layouts (RAID5, RAID0, RAID1, RAID0+1, RAID3, etc), stripe unit sizes, and general disk random I/O performance. Very good to see the difference the queue_depth parameter makes under AIX!

It maintains a number of buffers, a thread to read from STDIN to fill the buffers, and a thread to write to STDOUT, emptying the buffers. Several reads may be done to fill a buffer entirely. A partial write (not a full buffer length) will abort the copy. mbdd continues until EOF on STDIN. The last block written may not be a full buffer, that is, it is not rounded up to the buffer size. Its primary use is as a buffer between bursty, non-threaded programs. One example is its use between tar(1) and bzip2(1), allowing both utilities to attempt to run without waiting on the other.

Instead, it ships with rules compiled into the runtime libraries. This means that any changes made to daylight savings rules (like those made in Australia for the Commonwealth Games 2006) will require patches to the Java installation, or programs that are sensitive to time will require source code modifications and recompilation. Apart from the IBM WebSphere patches at the below link, I am unable to find any other patches relating to JRE. To fix a program, code similar to the following should be placed into the initialisation routines: java.util.TimeZone.setDefault(new java.util.SimpleTimeZone( 10 * 3600 * 1000, "Australia/Sydney", java.util.Calendar.OCTOBER, 1, -java.util.Calendar.SUNDAY, 2 * 3600 * 1000, java.util.Calendar.APRIL, 1, java.util.Calendar.SUNDAY, 3 * 3600 * 1000, 1 * 3600 * 1000)); This defines the default time zone rule to be based on the Java <tt>Australia/Sydney</tt> time zone, but to start daylight savings at 2 AM standard time on the last Sunday in October, and end at 3 AM daylight time (2 AM standard time) on the first Sunday in April. The [ftp://stix.id.au/pub/Java/TimeTest.java TimeTest.java] source code may be used as a starting point for experimentation. I have checked the above information on native Java versions from 1.2.2 through 1.4.2, on Windows, AIX, Solaris, Linux and Darwin (Mac OS X), and also Kaffe 1.4.2 on NetBSD. == See Also == * [http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21232128 IBM WebSphere patches for Eastern Australia Commonwealth Games 2006 Time Zone rule changes]. * <tt>[http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/SimpleTimeZone.html SimpleTimeZone]</tt> Java 1.4.2 API. * <tt>[http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/GregorianCalendar.html GregorianCalendar]</tt> Java 1.4.2 API. * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_zone#Java Wikipedia Time zone] article mentions Java's embedding of time zone rules. * [[Java and AIX Time Zones]].

While this may be great for an NFS server, SMTP relay or web server, it is very poor for running any application which does its own cache management. This includes most databases (Oracle, DB2, Sybase, PostgreSQL, MySQL using InnoDB tables, TSM) and some other software (eg. the Squid web cache). Common symptoms include high paging (high <tt>pgspin</tt> and <tt>pgspout</tt> in <tt>[[topas]]</tt>), high system CPU time, the [[lrud kernel thread]] using CPU, slow overall system throughput, slow backups and slow process startup. For most database systems, the ideal solution is to use [[raw logical volumes]]. If this is not acceptable, then [[direct I/O]] and [[concurrent I/O]] should be used. If for some reason this is not possible, then the last solution is to tune the [[AIX]] file caches to be less aggressive. == Parameters == The three main parameters that should be tuned are those controlling the size of the persistent file cache (<tt>minperm%</tt> and <tt>maxperm%</tt>) used for JFS filesystems, and the client file cache (<tt>maxclient%</tt>) used by NFS, CDRFS and JFS2 filesystems ; numperm% : Defines the current size of the persistent file cache. ; minperm% : Defines the minimum amount of RAM the persistent file cache may occupy. If <tt>numperm%</tt> is less than or equal to <tt>minperm%</tt>, file pages will not be stolen when RAM is required. ; maxperm% : Defines the maximum amount of RAM the persistent file cache may occupy before it is used as the sole source of new pages by the page stealing algorithm. By default, <tt>numperm%</tt> may exceed <tt>maxperm%</tt> if there is free memory available. The setting <tt>strict_maxperm</tt> may be set to one to change <tt>maxperm%</tt> into a hard limit, guaranteeing <tt>numperm%</tt> will never exceed <tt>maxperm%</tt>. ; strict_maxperm : As above, if set to 1, changes <tt>maxperm%</tt> into a hard limit. ; numclient% : Defines the current size of the client file cache. ; maxclient% : Defines the hard maximum size of the client file cache. ; strict_maxclient : Introduced in 5.2 ML4, allows the changing of <tt>maxclient%</tt> into a soft limit, similar to <tt>strict_maxperm</tt>. Note that <tt>maxclient%</tt> may never exceed <tt>maxperm%</tt>. In later versions of vmtune, this is enforced by changing both parameters if necessary. == Tuning for AIX 5.1 and Earlier == The tool to use is <tt>/usr/samples/kernel/vmtune<tt>, installed as part of the <tt>bos.adt.samples</tt> fileset. If run without options, it will display the currently configured tuneable values, and some of the current runtime values. '''Note:''' vmtume may be used to set the current runtime parameters only. To have changes take effect on reboot, vmtune must be initiated as part of the system startups. An example of a tuning command used on a system running Oracle may be: # /usr/samples/kernel/vmtune -p 3 -P 5 -h 1 -t 5 Which sets <tt>minperm%</tt> to 3%, <tt>maxperm%</tt> and <tt>maxclient%</tt> to 5%, and enables <tt>strict_maxperm</tt>. == Tuning for AIX 5.2 and Later == '''Note:''' AIX 5.2 includes a compatibilty version of <tt>vmtune</tt>. It is probably most wise to become familiar with the new tools, instead of relying on the backwards compatibility commands. The main tool to use is <tt>/usr/sbin/vmo</tt>, installed as part of the <tt>bos.perf.tune</tt> fileset. To display current cache sizes (<tt>numperm%</tt> and <tt>numclient%</tt>) use <tt>vmstat -v</tt>. <tt>vmo</tt> can change both persistent (reboot) values as well as runtime values, and so does not need to be present in the startups.

While this may be great for an NFS server, SMTP relay or web server, it is very poor for running any application which does its own cache management. This includes most databases (Oracle, DB2, Sybase, PostgreSQL, MySQL using InnoDB tables, TSM) and some other software (eg. the Squid web cache). Common symptoms include high paging (high <tt>pgspin</tt> and <tt>pgspout</tt> in <tt>[[topas]]</tt>), high system CPU time, the [[lrud kernel thread]] using CPU, slow overall system throughput, slow backups and slow process startup. For most database systems, the ideal solution is to use [[raw logical volumes]]. If this is not acceptable, then [[direct I/O]] and [[concurrent I/O]] should be used. If for some reason this is not possible, then the last solution is to tune the [[AIX]] file caches to be less aggressive. == Parameters == The four main parameters that should be tuned are the three controlling the size of the persistent file cache (<tt>minperm%</tt> and <tt>maxperm%</tt>) used for JFS filesystems, and the client file cache (<tt>maxclient%</tt>) used by NFS, CDRFS and JFS2 filesystems, and also the <tt>lru_file_repage</tt> parameter, which influences what pages the [[VMM]] page stealing algorithm will steal (present in AIX 5.2 ML4+ and AIX 5.3 ML1+). ; numperm% : Defines the current size of the persistent file cache. ; minperm% : Defines the minimum amount of RAM the persistent file cache may occupy. If <tt>numperm%</tt> is less than or equal to <tt>minperm%</tt>, file pages will not be stolen when RAM is required. ; maxperm% : Defines the maximum amount of RAM the persistent file cache may occupy before it is used as the sole source of new pages by the page stealing algorithm. By default, <tt>numperm%</tt> may exceed <tt>maxperm%</tt> if there is free memory available. The setting <tt>strict_maxperm</tt> may be set to one to change <tt>maxperm%</tt> into a hard limit, guaranteeing <tt>numperm%</tt> will never exceed <tt>maxperm%</tt>. ; strict_maxperm : As above, if set to 1, changes <tt>maxperm%</tt> into a hard limit. ; numclient% : Defines the current size of the client file cache. ; maxclient% : Defines the hard maximum size of the client file cache. ; strict_maxclient : Introduced in 5.2 ML4, allows the changing of <tt>maxclient%</tt> into a soft limit, similar to <tt>strict_maxperm</tt>. ; lru_file_repage : Introduced in AIX 5.2 ML4 and AIX 5.3 ML1, this influences the [[VMM]] page stealing algorthm. If set to 0, the algorthm will strongly prefer stealing file pages to satisfy memory requests. Note that <tt>maxclient%</tt> may never exceed <tt>maxperm%</tt>. In later versions of vmtune, this is enforced by changing both parameters if necessary. == Tuning for AIX 5.1 and Earlier == The tool to use is <tt>/usr/samples/kernel/vmtune<tt>, installed as part of the <tt>bos.adt.samples</tt> fileset. If run without options, it will display the currently configured tuneable values, and some of the current runtime values. '''Note:''' vmtume may be used to set the current runtime parameters only. To have changes take effect on reboot, vmtune must be initiated as part of the system startups. An example of a tuning command used on a system running Oracle may be: # /usr/samples/kernel/vmtune -p 3 -P 5 -h 1 -t 5 Which sets <tt>minperm%</tt> to 3%, <tt>maxperm%</tt> and <tt>maxclient%</tt> to 5%, and enables <tt>strict_maxperm</tt>. == Tuning for AIX 5.2 and Later == '''Note:''' AIX 5.2 includes a compatibilty version of <tt>vmtune</tt>. It is probably most wise to become familiar with the new tools, instead of relying on the backwards compatibility commands. The main tool to use is <tt>/usr/sbin/vmo</tt>, installed as part of the <tt>bos.perf.tune</tt> fileset. To display current cache sizes (<tt>numperm%</tt> and <tt>numclient%</tt>) use <tt>vmstat -v</tt>. <tt>vmo</tt> can change both persistent (reboot) values as well as runtime values, and so does not need to be present in the startups.

'''Direct I/O''' may be enabled via two methods: * Use of the <tt>O_DIRECT</tt> flag to the <tt>open(2)</tt> system call. * Use of the <tt>dio</tt> mount option. '''Direct I/O''' should be used where either the application does its own caching (like many databases, eg. [[Oracle]], [[DB2]], [[Sybase]], [[PostgreSQL]], [[TSM]], [[MySQL]] using [[InnoDB]]) or where the same data will not be read/written again for some time (eg. TSM disk storage pools). Bear in mind, that '''direct I/O''' performance still falls slightly short of the performance achieved by using [[raw logical volumes]]. With many applications, using [[raw logical volumes]] can be just as easy to manage. == Restrictions == * When using '''direct I/O''', all reads and writes must be aligned to, and a multiple of, the filesystem block size, often being between 512 bytes and 4 kibibytes. Any read/write request which does not meet this criteria will be forced to go through the file cache and [[VMM]]. * Any file mapped using <tt>mmap(2)</tt>, <tt>shm_open(2)</tt>, etc will default to using the file cache and [[VMM]] for all I/O from all processes.

For standard Ethernet, this is 1500 bytes. "Jumbo frames", introduced with gigabit Ethernet, expands the MTU to 9000 bytes. Conversely, there are various elements that be used in the network fabric to reduce the MTU, commonly [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPsec IPsec], [http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?stf stf], [http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?gif gif], and many other forms of tunnels and encapsulation. === RemMTU === Under AIX, each interface has a <tt>remmtu</tt> parameter, which may be displayed via lsattr -El en0 -a remmtu By default, this is 576 bytes, meaning that the packet size is reduced to this value for "remote" networks. Given that the default value for the <tt>no</tt> parameter <tt>subnetsarelocal</tt> is "1", AIX treats networks of a different [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subnetwork class] to be remote. In a large network, where different class networks are in use, this may unnecessarily decrease the MTU, increasing packet counts and overhead, and decreasing performance. Depending on network design, it should generally be possible to increase <tt>remmtu</tt> to 1500 bytes. === MTU Discovery === == TCP Window Size == === Calculating === === Configuring === == Selective Acknowledgements == == Tools == === tcpdump === === tcptrace === == See Also == * [http://jarok.cs.ohiou.edu/software/tcptrace/ tcptrace Official Homepage].

Support said they are not possible. ; Failed client install overwrites client on server : I've seen this happen twice, once with 3.4, once with 4.5. The first we believe was due to rsh/rcp failure, which resulted in a Solaris client being installed on the AIX server. Oops. ; "hung" or slow restores : Idle tape drives, required tapes not busy, but restore doesn't start. No idea why. Restarting NetBackup on the Master seems to help. ; Unbalanced vaulting processes : Images appear to be split between vaulting processes with no regard given to size. One process may complete after only 1 hour, leaving the other running for 10 hours. ; multi-volume catalog backups can't be restored : This is improved in V5. This means that master servers do not scale well at all. I would suggest people wanting a timely DR to rsync the <tt>images</tt> directory within the NetBackup catalog to their DR system. ; LTO drives must be defined as DLT : Small issue with 4.5, but confusing to new admins. Under version 5, LTO are configured as "hcart". ; tape drive H/W or media problems : can abort client backups, and if multiplexing, multiple client backups. Also can abort vaulting (duplication). ; vault <tt>preview.list</tt> contains ITC images : <tt>preview.list</tt> contains the list of images to duplicate when vaulting. However, it includes Inline Tape Copy (ITC) images, which don't actually get duplicated. ; aborted vault leaves tapes in library : An aborted vault will leave the partially completed vault tapes in the library, and if a vault is re-run, images successfully duplicated from the first run are not re-processed (as expected), but the tapes from the first run are not ejected, either. ; ovpass fails with dyntrk : The VERITAS Media Changer driver "ovpass" fails to work with "dyntrk" Dynamic Tracking enabled. This means hardware library modifications may require AIX rmt device reconfiguration.

For standard Ethernet, this is 1500 bytes. "Jumbo frames", introduced with gigabit Ethernet, expands the MTU to 9000 bytes. Conversely, there are various elements that be used in the network fabric to reduce the MTU, commonly [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPsec IPsec], [http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?stf stf], [http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?gif gif], and many other forms of tunnels and encapsulation. === RemMTU === Under AIX, each interface has a <tt>remmtu</tt> parameter, which may be displayed via lsattr -El en0 -a remmtu By default, this is 576 bytes, meaning that the packet size is reduced to this value for "remote" networks. Given that the default value for the <tt>no</tt> parameter <tt>subnetsarelocal</tt> is "1", AIX treats networks of a different [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subnetwork class] to be remote. In a large network, where different class networks are in use, this may unnecessarily decrease the MTU, increasing packet counts and overhead, and decreasing performance. Depending on network design, it should generally be possible to increase <tt>remmtu</tt> to 1500 bytes. === MTU Discovery === == TCP Window Size == === Calculating === === Configuring === == Selective Acknowledgements == '''Note:''' For AIX 5.3, do not enable SACKs unless APAR [http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg1IY78947 IY78947] is installed. Normally, when running with large window sizes, a lost packet will result in the re-transmission of the entire window from the lost packet onwards. TCP Selective Acknowledgements (SACKs, RFC 2018) allows the receiving system to request the resending of just the lost data. To do this, a small length increase in the standard TCP headers is required, but the increased performance when running on LFNs (Long Fat Networks) with high Bandwidth Delay Product (BDP) and some packet loss, is worth the overhead. no -p -o sack=1 == Tools == === tcpdump === === tcptrace === == See Also == * [http://jarok.cs.ohiou.edu/software/tcptrace/ tcptrace Official Homepage].

In all cases, the cache attempts to keep recently used data in a small area that is faster than the large, slow primary storage area, with the hope that the data will be accessed again, soon. The system then benefits from the faster access times. The '''Cache Hit Ratio''' is the ratio of the number of cache hits to the number of misses, usually expressed as a percentage. Depending on the nature of the cache, expected hit ratios can vary from 60% to greater than 99%. Cache Hit Ratios are inheritly logarithmic; the closer to 100%, the exponentially greater the gains. A simple way of visualising the nature of cache hit ratios, is to attempt to convert a ratio to a relative performance metric (ie. "transactions per second", or similar), by estimating the relative costs of a cache hit and a cache miss. This can be expressed as: <!--math--> a = cache_hit_cost b = cache_miss_cost r = cache_hit_ratio p = relative performance p = 1 / (a * r + b(1 - r)) <!--/math--> 66b98e5e12af9b6a97d9d2de91d037859cf69316 2588 2587 2006-11-07T03:34:05Z Stix 2 Cache Hit Ratios moved to Cache Hit Ratio wikitext text/x-wiki Caches are used in many parts of computer systems - from CPU level 1 and level 2 caches, translation look-aside buffers (TLBs), operating system file system caches, and database buffer caches.

The system then benefits from the faster access times. The '''Cache Hit Ratio''' is the ratio of the number of cache hits to the number of misses, usually expressed as a percentage. Depending on the nature of the cache, expected hit ratios can vary from 60% to greater than 99%. [[image:Cachehitratio.png|thumb|200px|right|Cache Hit Ratio vs Relative Performance]] Cache Hit Ratios are inheritly logarithmic; the closer to 100%, the exponentially greater the gains. A simple way of visualising the nature of cache hit ratios, is to attempt to convert a ratio to a relative performance metric (ie.

Instead, it ships with rules compiled into the runtime libraries. This means that any changes made to daylight savings rules (like those made in Australia for the Commonwealth Games 2006) will require patches to the Java installation, or programs that are sensitive to time will require source code modifications and recompilation. Apart from the IBM WebSphere patches at the below link, I am unable to find any other patches relating to JRE. To fix a program, code similar to the following should be placed into the initialisation routines: java.util.TimeZone.setDefault(new java.util.SimpleTimeZone( 10 * 3600 * 1000, "Australia/Sydney", java.util.Calendar.OCTOBER, 1, -java.util.Calendar.SUNDAY, 2 * 3600 * 1000, java.util.Calendar.APRIL, 1, java.util.Calendar.SUNDAY, 3 * 3600 * 1000, 1 * 3600 * 1000)); This defines the default time zone rule to be based on the Java <tt>Australia/Sydney</tt> time zone, but to start daylight savings at 2 AM standard time on the last Sunday in October, and end at 3 AM daylight time (2 AM standard time) on the first Sunday in April.

Can I help you? COSTELLO: Thanks. I'm setting up an office in my den and I'm thinking about buying a computer. ABBOTT: Mac? COSTELLO: No, the name's Lou. ABBOTT: Your computer? COSTELLO: I don't own a computer. I want to buy one. ABBOTT: Mac? COSTELLO: I told you, my name's Lou. ABBOTT: What about Windows? COSTELLO: Why? Will it get stuffy in here? ABBOTT: Do you want a computer with Windows? COSTELLO: I don't know. What will I see when I look at the windows? ABBOTT: Wallpaper. COSTELLO: Never mind the windows. I need a computer and software. ABBOTT: Software for Windows? COSTELLO: No. On the computer! I need something I can use to write proposals, track expenses and run my business. What do you have? ABBOTT: Office. COSTELLO: Yeah, for my office. Can you recommend anything? ABBOTT: I just did. COSTELLO: You just did what? ABBOTT: Recommend something. COSTELLO: You recommended something? ABBOTT: Yes. COSTELLO: For my office? ABBOTT: Yes. COSTELLO: OK, what did you recommend for my office? ABBOTT: Office. COSTELLO: Yes, for my office! ABBOTT: I recommend Office with Windows. COSTELLO: I already have an office with windows! OK, let's just say I'm sitting at my computer and I want to type a proposal. What do I need? ABBOTT: Word. COSTELLO: What word? ABBOTT: Word in Office. COSTELLO: The only word in office is office. ABBOTT: The Word in Office for Windows. COSTELLO: Which word in office for windows? ABBOTT: The Word you get when you click the blue "W". COSTELLO: I'm going to click your blue "w" if you don't start with some straight answers, OK, forget that. Can I watch movies on the Internet? ABBOTT: Yes, you want Real One. COSTELLO: Maybe a real one, maybe a cartoon. What I watch is none of your business. Just tell me what I need! ABBOTT: Real One. COSTELLO: If it's a long movie, I also want to watch reels 2, 3 and 4. Can I watch them? ABBOTT: Of course. COSTELLO: Great! With what? ABBOTT: Real One. COSTELLO: OK, I'm at my computer and I want to watch a movie. What do I do? ABBOTT: You click the blue "1". COSTELLO: I click the blue one what? ABBOTT: The blue "1". COSTELLO: Is that different from the blue "w"? ABBOTT: The blue "1" is Real One and the blue "W" is Word. COSTELLO: What word? ABBOTT: The Word in Office for Windows. COSTELLO: But there are three words in "office for windows"! ABBOTT: No, just one. But it's the most popular Word in the world. COSTELLO: It is? ABBOTT: Yes, but to be fair, there aren't many other Words left. It pretty much wiped out all the other Words out there. COSTELLO: And that word is real one? ABBOTT: Real One has nothing to do with Word. Real One isn't even part of Office. COSTELLO: STOP! Don't start that again. What about financial bookkeeping? You have anything I can track my money with? ABBOTT: Money. COSTELLO: That's right. What do you have? ABBOTT: Money. COSTELLO: I need money to track my money? ABBOTT: It comes bundled with your computer. COSTELLO: What's bundled with my computer? ABBOTT: Money. COSTELLO: Money comes with my computer? ABBOTT: Yes. No extra charge. COSTELLO: I get a bundle of money with my computer? How much? ABBOTT: One copy. COSTELLO: Isn't it illegal to copy money? ABBOTT: Microsoft gave us a license to copy Money. COSTELLO: They can give you a license to copy money? ABBOTT: Why not? THEY OWN IT! ( ********** A few days later ********** ) ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. May I help you?

Service Information Message (SIM) and Media Information Message (MIM) may be generated by various IBM Magstar tape drives, like the 3570 and 3590. == What is SARS? == The Statistical Analysis and Reporting System (SARS) analyzes and reports on tape drive and tape cartridge performance to help you: * Determine whether the tape cartridge or the hardware in the tape drive is causing errors * Determine if the tape media is degrading over time * Determine if the tape drive hardware is degrading over time The 3590 tape drive microcode contains a Volume SARS (VSARS) algorithm and a Hardware SARS (HSARS) algorithm. SARS reports the results of its analysis in the form of Service Information Messages (SIM) and Media Information Messages (MIM). These messages are the means by which SARS communicates problems in order to improve tape library productivity. The SARS algorithms are executed in the 3590 just before a tape is unloaded. To distinguish error patterns and trends, the SARS volume algorithms require the tape to be mounted on different drives. The SARS hardware algorithms require different tapes to be mounted on one drive. If a tape drive performs poorly with different tape volumes, cleaning and service repair messages or error codes are presented. Similarly, if tape volumes continue to perform poorly on different drives, rewrite or discard-media messages are presented. There are other SARS algorithms in the 3590 tape drive. A part of SARS has been running on base 3590 tape drives since the first drive shipment in 1995; it requests drive cleaning when necessary and does some checking of hardware performance. SARS has been enabled in base 3590 tape drives that were shipped after January 1999. New 3590 tape drives are being shipped with SARS enabled in the microcode. Another algorithm in the tape drive is concurrent SARS. This algorithm is run when errors occur in the drive or when some diagnostic tests are run. Concurrent SARS is used to help isolate a problem between the drive and the media. You can find additional information about SIMs and MIMs in the Magstar 3590 High Performance Tape Subsystem Introduction and Planning Guideand the Magstar 3590 High Performance Tape Subsystem User’s Guide. You can access online versions of these documents at one of the following Web sites: * http://www.storage.ibm.com/hardsoft/tape/pubs/pubs3590.html * http://snjlnt03.sanjose.ibm.com/rmss/home.nsf/product/main == What Kinds of Information Does SARS Report? == SARS reports the following kinds of information: * Degraded media (MIM) * Bad media (MIM) * Degraded drive (SIM) * Bad drive (SIM) * Preventive maintenance actions needed, such as drive cleaning (SIM) == Why Should I Enable SARS? == SARS messages are helpful in media management, which allows you to remove marginal tape cartridges from the library. SARS messages also indicate degrading tape drive hardware performance, which allows a hardware repair action before the hardware actually fails. This results in improved library performance and higher reliability of the tape subsystem. == What Should I Know Before I Enable SARS? == You need to be aware of the following before you enable SARS by installing the updated 3590 drive microcode: * SARS is designed to detect the gradual degradation of the performance of media and hardware. * MIMs from the tape drives are recommendations. It is the responsibility of the software or the customer to take action on the messages. The 3590 drive will not actually write-protect the tape cartridge when a read-only message is presented. VTS and Tivoli Storage Management (formerly ADSM) products are exceptions to this; they mark the tape as read-only. * The number of tape cartridges recommended for read-only in VTS and Tivoli Storage Management products may increase temporarily (indicated by an increase in the number of MIM message codes 60). * As you remove tape cartridges that are performing marginally from the library, the number of read/write errors will decrease. The rate of removal will depend on the tape cycle in the library. * When a tape cartridge is recommended for read-only status, you will continue to be able to access the data on it. * You will need to copy the data from read-only tape cartridges, then eject them from the library. * You will need to follow existing vendor warranty procedures for evaluation and possible replacement of tape cartridges that SARS has marked read-only. For warranty information about IBM tape cartridges, call 1-800-IBM-MEDIA. == How Do I Configure SARS? == SIMs and MIMs can be reported multiple times. A drive configuration option allows SARS to report the same SIM or MIM more than once. The time between repeat SIMs and MIMs is eight hours. A SIM will be reported when an error occurs, and it will be repeated eight hours later. Then it will be repeated for the last time eight hours later. The default option is to not repeat SIMs and MIMs. The SARS reporting of SIMs and MIMs can be disabled if your host software does not support SIMs and MIMs. Depending on your software, you may be able to select the SIMs and MIMs that you want SARS to report. For example, you may want to see only the ''acute severity'' SIMs and MIMs, or you may prefer to see all SIMs and MIMs that SARS sends to the host. Software configuration options and drive configuration allow you to filter SIMs and MIMs by ''severity code''. == SIM Severity Codes == The SIM severity codes are: * Severity 0 code indicates that the tape drive requires service, but normal operation is not affected. * Severity 1 code indicates that the problem is moderate. The tape drive is operating in a degraded condition. * Severity 2 code indicates that the problem is serious. The tape drive is operating in a degraded condition. * Severity 3 code indicates that the problem is acute. The tape drive requires immediate service attention. == MIM Severity Codes == The MIM severity codes are: * Severity 1 code indicates that ''high temporary read or write'' errors occurred (moderate severity). * Severity 2 code indicates that ''permanent read or write'' errors occurred (serious severity). * Severity 3 code indicates that ''tape directory'' errors occurred (acute severity). == What Is a Service Information Message (SIM)? == A SIM alerts you that an abnormal operational condition in a 3590 or 3570 tape drive requires service attention. Information in the SIM identifies the affected drive, the failing component, the severity of the fault condition, and the expected operational impact of the pending service action. A SIM is a SCSI Log Sense page (see Figure 1 for a graphic view of the SIM format). This information helps you to initiate and expedite the appropriate recovery and service procedures in order to restore normal operation with maximum efficiency and minimal disruption. A SIM contains the machine type, machine serial number, and Field Replaceable Unit (FRU), which allows the dispatch of the appropriate service personnel, along with the replacement parts required to correct the machine fault. This improves service response time and reduces the time required for machine repair. A SIM also contains a severity code, which allows you to determine the urgency of the problem and a service message, which advises you of the service impact. {| style="font-size:8pt; text-align:center" border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" align="center" width="100%" |+ Figure 1.

SARS has been enabled in base 3590 tape drives that were shipped after January 1999. New 3590 tape drives are being shipped with SARS enabled in the microcode. Another algorithm in the tape drive is concurrent SARS. This algorithm is run when errors occur in the drive or when some diagnostic tests are run. Concurrent SARS is used to help isolate a problem between the drive and the media. You can find additional information about SIMs and MIMs in the Magstar 3590 High Performance Tape Subsystem Introduction and Planning Guideand the Magstar 3590 High Performance Tape Subsystem User’s Guide. You can access online versions of these documents at one of the following Web sites: * http://www.storage.ibm.com/hardsoft/tape/pubs/pubs3590.html * http://snjlnt03.sanjose.ibm.com/rmss/home.nsf/product/main == What Kinds of Information Does SARS Report? == SARS reports the following kinds of information: * Degraded media (MIM) * Bad media (MIM) * Degraded drive (SIM) * Bad drive (SIM) * Preventive maintenance actions needed, such as drive cleaning (SIM) == Why Should I Enable SARS? == SARS messages are helpful in media management, which allows you to remove marginal tape cartridges from the library. SARS messages also indicate degrading tape drive hardware performance, which allows a hardware repair action before the hardware actually fails. This results in improved library performance and higher reliability of the tape subsystem. == What Should I Know Before I Enable SARS? == You need to be aware of the following before you enable SARS by installing the updated 3590 drive microcode: * SARS is designed to detect the gradual degradation of the performance of media and hardware. * MIMs from the tape drives are recommendations. It is the responsibility of the software or the customer to take action on the messages. The 3590 drive will not actually write-protect the tape cartridge when a read-only message is presented. VTS and Tivoli Storage Management (formerly ADSM) products are exceptions to this; they mark the tape as read-only. * The number of tape cartridges recommended for read-only in VTS and Tivoli Storage Management products may increase temporarily (indicated by an increase in the number of MIM message codes 60). * As you remove tape cartridges that are performing marginally from the library, the number of read/write errors will decrease. The rate of removal will depend on the tape cycle in the library. * When a tape cartridge is recommended for read-only status, you will continue to be able to access the data on it. * You will need to copy the data from read-only tape cartridges, then eject them from the library. * You will need to follow existing vendor warranty procedures for evaluation and possible replacement of tape cartridges that SARS has marked read-only. For warranty information about IBM tape cartridges, call 1-800-IBM-MEDIA. == How Do I Configure SARS? == SIMs and MIMs can be reported multiple times. A drive configuration option allows SARS to report the same SIM or MIM more than once. The time between repeat SIMs and MIMs is eight hours. A SIM will be reported when an error occurs, and it will be repeated eight hours later. Then it will be repeated for the last time eight hours later. The default option is to not repeat SIMs and MIMs. The SARS reporting of SIMs and MIMs can be disabled if your host software does not support SIMs and MIMs. Depending on your software, you may be able to select the SIMs and MIMs that you want SARS to report. For example, you may want to see only the ''acute severity'' SIMs and MIMs, or you may prefer to see all SIMs and MIMs that SARS sends to the host. Software configuration options and drive configuration allow you to filter SIMs and MIMs by ''severity code''. == SIM Severity Codes == The SIM severity codes are: * Severity 0 code indicates that the tape drive requires service, but normal operation is not affected. * Severity 1 code indicates that the problem is moderate. The tape drive is operating in a degraded condition. * Severity 2 code indicates that the problem is serious. The tape drive is operating in a degraded condition. * Severity 3 code indicates that the problem is acute. The tape drive requires immediate service attention. == MIM Severity Codes == The MIM severity codes are: * Severity 1 code indicates that ''high temporary read or write'' errors occurred (moderate severity). * Severity 2 code indicates that ''permanent read or write'' errors occurred (serious severity). * Severity 3 code indicates that ''tape directory'' errors occurred (acute severity). == What Is a Service Information Message (SIM)? == A SIM alerts you that an abnormal operational condition in a 3590 or 3570 tape drive requires service attention. Information in the SIM identifies the affected drive, the failing component, the severity of the fault condition, and the expected operational impact of the pending service action. A SIM is a SCSI Log Sense page (see Figure 1 for a graphic view of the SIM format). This information helps you to initiate and expedite the appropriate recovery and service procedures in order to restore normal operation with maximum efficiency and minimal disruption. A SIM contains the machine type, machine serial number, and Field Replaceable Unit (FRU), which allows the dispatch of the appropriate service personnel, along with the replacement parts required to correct the machine fault. This improves service response time and reduces the time required for machine repair. A SIM also contains a severity code, which allows you to determine the urgency of the problem and a service message, which advises you of the service impact. {| style="font-size:8pt; text-align:center" border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" align="center" width="100%" |+ Figure 1.

Service Information Message (SIM) and Media Information Message (MIM) may be generated by various IBM Magstar tape drives, like the 3570, 3590 and 3592. == What is SARS? == The Statistical Analysis and Reporting System (SARS) analyzes and reports on tape drive and tape cartridge performance to help you: * Determine whether the tape cartridge or the hardware in the tape drive is causing errors * Determine if the tape media is degrading over time * Determine if the tape drive hardware is degrading over time The 3590 tape drive microcode contains a Volume SARS (VSARS) algorithm and a Hardware SARS (HSARS) algorithm. SARS reports the results of its analysis in the form of Service Information Messages (SIM) and Media Information Messages (MIM). These messages are the means by which SARS communicates problems in order to improve tape library productivity. The SARS algorithms are executed in the 3590 just before a tape is unloaded. To distinguish error patterns and trends, the SARS volume algorithms require the tape to be mounted on different drives. The SARS hardware algorithms require different tapes to be mounted on one drive. If a tape drive performs poorly with different tape volumes, cleaning and service repair messages or error codes are presented. Similarly, if tape volumes continue to perform poorly on different drives, rewrite or discard-media messages are presented. There are other SARS algorithms in the 3590 tape drive.

Service Information Message (SIM) and Media Information Message (MIM) may be generated by various IBM Magstar tape drives, like the 3570, 3590 and 3592. == What is SARS? == The Statistical Analysis and Reporting System (SARS) analyzes and reports on tape drive and tape cartridge performance to help you: * Determine whether the tape cartridge or the hardware in the tape drive is causing errors * Determine if the tape media is degrading over time * Determine if the tape drive hardware is degrading over time The 3590 tape drive microcode contains a Volume SARS (VSARS) algorithm and a Hardware SARS (HSARS) algorithm. SARS reports the results of its analysis in the form of Service Information Messages (SIM) and Media Information Messages (MIM). These messages are the means by which SARS communicates problems in order to improve tape library productivity. The SARS algorithms are executed in the 3590 just before a tape is unloaded. To distinguish error patterns and trends, the SARS volume algorithms require the tape to be mounted on different drives. The SARS hardware algorithms require different tapes to be mounted on one drive. If a tape drive performs poorly with different tape volumes, cleaning and service repair messages or error codes are presented. Similarly, if tape volumes continue to perform poorly on different drives, rewrite or discard-media messages are presented. There are other SARS algorithms in the 3590 tape drive. A part of SARS has been running on base 3590 tape drives since the first drive shipment in 1995; it requests drive cleaning when necessary and does some checking of hardware performance. SARS has been enabled in base 3590 tape drives that were shipped after January 1999. New 3590 tape drives are being shipped with SARS enabled in the microcode. Another algorithm in the tape drive is concurrent SARS. This algorithm is run when errors occur in the drive or when some diagnostic tests are run. Concurrent SARS is used to help isolate a problem between the drive and the media. You can find additional information about SIMs and MIMs in the Magstar 3590 High Performance Tape Subsystem Introduction and Planning Guideand the Magstar 3590 High Performance Tape Subsystem User’s Guide. You can access online versions of these documents at one of the following Web sites: * http://www.storage.ibm.com/hardsoft/tape/pubs/pubs3590.html * http://snjlnt03.sanjose.ibm.com/rmss/home.nsf/product/main == What Kinds of Information Does SARS Report? == SARS reports the following kinds of information: * Degraded media (MIM) * Bad media (MIM) * Degraded drive (SIM) * Bad drive (SIM) * Preventive maintenance actions needed, such as drive cleaning (SIM) == Why Should I Enable SARS? == SARS messages are helpful in media management, which allows you to remove marginal tape cartridges from the library. SARS messages also indicate degrading tape drive hardware performance, which allows a hardware repair action before the hardware actually fails. This results in improved library performance and higher reliability of the tape subsystem. == What Should I Know Before I Enable SARS? == You need to be aware of the following before you enable SARS by installing the updated 3590 drive microcode: * SARS is designed to detect the gradual degradation of the performance of media and hardware. * MIMs from the tape drives are recommendations. It is the responsibility of the software or the customer to take action on the messages. The 3590 drive will not actually write-protect the tape cartridge when a read-only message is presented. VTS and Tivoli Storage Management (formerly ADSM) products are exceptions to this; they mark the tape as read-only. * The number of tape cartridges recommended for read-only in VTS and Tivoli Storage Management products may increase temporarily (indicated by an increase in the number of MIM message codes 60). * As you remove tape cartridges that are performing marginally from the library, the number of read/write errors will decrease. The rate of removal will depend on the tape cycle in the library. * When a tape cartridge is recommended for read-only status, you will continue to be able to access the data on it. * You will need to copy the data from read-only tape cartridges, then eject them from the library. * You will need to follow existing vendor warranty procedures for evaluation and possible replacement of tape cartridges that SARS has marked read-only. For warranty information about IBM tape cartridges, call 1-800-IBM-MEDIA. == How Do I Configure SARS? == SIMs and MIMs can be reported multiple times. A drive configuration option allows SARS to report the same SIM or MIM more than once. The time between repeat SIMs and MIMs is eight hours. A SIM will be reported when an error occurs, and it will be repeated eight hours later. Then it will be repeated for the last time eight hours later. The default option is to not repeat SIMs and MIMs. The SARS reporting of SIMs and MIMs can be disabled if your host software does not support SIMs and MIMs. Depending on your software, you may be able to select the SIMs and MIMs that you want SARS to report. For example, you may want to see only the ''acute severity'' SIMs and MIMs, or you may prefer to see all SIMs and MIMs that SARS sends to the host. Software configuration options and drive configuration allow you to filter SIMs and MIMs by ''severity code''. == SIM Severity Codes == The SIM severity codes are: * Severity 0 code indicates that the tape drive requires service, but normal operation is not affected. * Severity 1 code indicates that the problem is moderate. The tape drive is operating in a degraded condition. * Severity 2 code indicates that the problem is serious. The tape drive is operating in a degraded condition. * Severity 3 code indicates that the problem is acute. The tape drive requires immediate service attention. == MIM Severity Codes == The MIM severity codes are: * Severity 1 code indicates that ''high temporary read or write'' errors occurred (moderate severity). * Severity 2 code indicates that ''permanent read or write'' errors occurred (serious severity). * Severity 3 code indicates that ''tape directory'' errors occurred (acute severity). == What Is a Service Information Message (SIM)? == A SIM alerts you that an abnormal operational condition in a 3590 or 3570 tape drive requires service attention. Information in the SIM identifies the affected drive, the failing component, the severity of the fault condition, and the expected operational impact of the pending service action. A SIM is a SCSI Log Sense page (see Figure 1 for a graphic view of the SIM format). This information helps you to initiate and expedite the appropriate recovery and service procedures in order to restore normal operation with maximum efficiency and minimal disruption. A SIM contains the machine type, machine serial number, and Field Replaceable Unit (FRU), which allows the dispatch of the appropriate service personnel, along with the replacement parts required to correct the machine fault. This improves service response time and reduces the time required for machine repair. A SIM also contains a severity code, which allows you to determine the urgency of the problem and a service message, which advises you of the service impact. {| style="font-size:8pt; text-align:center" border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" align="center" width="100%" |+ Figure 1.

Since HTTP/1.0 did not define any 1xx status codes, servers MUST NOT send a 1xx response to an HTTP/1.0 client except under experimental conditions. === 100 Continue === The client may continue with its request. This interim response is used to inform the client that the initial part of the request has been received and has not yet been rejected by the server. The client SHOULD continue by sending the remainder of the request or, if the request has already been completed, ignore this response. The server MUST send a final response after the request has been completed. === 101 Switching Protocols === The server understands and is willing to comply with the client's request, via the Upgrade message header field (section 14.41), for a change in the application protocol being used on this connection. The server will switch protocols to those defined by the response's Upgrade header field immediately after the empty line which terminates the 101 response. The protocol should only be switched when it is advantageous to do so. For example, switching to a newer version of HTTP is advantageous over older versions, and switching to a real-time, synchronous protocol may be advantageous when delivering resources that use such features. == 2xx Successful == This class of status code indicates that the client's request was successfully received, understood, and accepted. === 200 OK === The request has succeeded. The information returned with the response is dependent on the method used in the request, for example: ; GET : an entity corresponding to the requested resource is sent in the response; ; HEAD : the entity-header fields corresponding to the requested resource are sent in the response without any message-body; ; POST : an entity describing or containing the result of the action; ; TRACE : an entity containing the request message as received by the end server. === 201 Created === The request has been fulfilled and resulted in a new resource being created. The newly created resource can be referenced by the URI(s) returned in the entity of the response, with the most specific URL for the resource given by a Location header field. The origin server MUST create the resource before returning the 201 status code. If the action cannot be carried out immediately, the server should respond with 202 (Accepted) response instead. === 202 Accepted === The request has been accepted for processing, but the processing has not been completed. The request MAY or MAY NOT eventually be acted upon, as it MAY be disallowed when processing actually takes place. There is no facility for re-sending a status code from an asynchronous operation such as this. The 202 response is intentionally non-committal. Its purpose is to allow a server to accept a request for some other process (perhaps a batch-oriented process that is only run once per day) without requiring that the user agent's connection to the server persist until the process is completed. The entity returned with this response SHOULD include an indication of the request's current status and either a pointer to a status monitor or some estimate of when the user can expect the request to be fulfilled. === 203 Non-Authoritative Information === The returned metainformation in the entity-header is not the definitive set as available from the origin server, but is gathered from a local or a third-party copy. The set presented MAY be a subset or superset of the original version. For example, including local annotation information about the resource MAY result in a superset of the metainformation known by the origin server. Use of this response code is not required and is only appropriate when the response would otherwise be 200 (OK). === 204 No Content === The server has fulfilled the request but there is no new information to send back. If the client is a user agent, it SHOULD NOT change its document view from that which caused the request to be sent. This response is primarily intended to allow input for actions to take place without causing a change to the user agent's active document view. The response MAY include new metainformation in the form of entity-headers, which SHOULD apply to the document currently in the user agent's active view. The 204 response MUST NOT include a message-body, and thus is always terminated by the first empty line after the header fields. === 205 Reset Content === The server has fulfilled the request and the user agent SHOULD reset the document view which caused the request to be sent. This response is primarily intended to allow input for actions to take place via user input, followed by a clearing of the form in which the input is given so that the user can easily initiate another input action. The response MUST NOT include an entity. === 206 Partial Content === The server has fulfilled the partial GET request for the resource. The request must have included a Range header field (section 14.36) indicating the desired range. The response MUST include either a Content-Range header field (section 14.17) indicating the range included with this response, or a multipart/byteranges Content-Type including Content-Range fields for each part. If multipart/byteranges is not used, the Content-Length header field in the response MUST match the actual number of OCTETs transmitted in the message-body. A cache that does not support the Range and Content-Range headers MUST NOT cache 206 (Partial) responses. == 3xx Redirection == This class of status code indicates that further action needs to be taken by the user agent in order to fulfill the request. The action required MAY be carried out by the user agent without interaction with the user if and only if the method used in the second request is GET or HEAD. A user agent SHOULD NOT automatically redirect a request more than 5 times, since such redirections usually indicate an infinite loop. === 300 Multiple Choices === The requested resource corresponds to any one of a set of representations, each with its own specific location, and agent- driven negotiation information (section 12) is being provided so that the user (or user agent) can select a preferred representation and redirect its request to that location. Unless it was a HEAD request, the response SHOULD include an entity containing a list of resource characteristics and location(s) from which the user or user agent can choose the one most appropriate. The entity format is specified by the media type given in the Content- Type header field. Depending upon the format and the capabilities of the user agent, selection of the most appropriate choice may be performed automatically. However, this specification does not define any standard for such automatic selection. If the server has a preferred choice of representation, it SHOULD include the specific URL for that representation in the Location field; user agents MAY use the Location field value for automatic redirection. This response is cachable unless indicated otherwise. === 301 Moved Permanently === The requested resource has been assigned a new permanent URI and any future references to this resource SHOULD be done using one of the returned URIs. Clients with link editing capabilities SHOULD automatically re-link references to the Request-URI to one or more of the new references returned by the server, where possible. This response is cachable unless indicated otherwise. If the new URI is a location, its URL SHOULD be given by the Location field in the response. Unless the request method was HEAD, the entity of the response SHOULD contain a short hypertext note with a hyperlink to the new URI(s). If the 301 status code is received in response to a request other than GET or HEAD, the user agent MUST NOT automatically redirect the request unless it can be confirmed by the user, since this might change the conditions under which the request was issued. '''Note:''' When automatically redirecting a POST request after receiving a 301 status code, some existing HTTP/1.0 user agents will erroneously change it into a GET request. === 302 Moved Temporarily === The requested resource resides temporarily under a different URI. Since the redirection may be altered on occasion, the client SHOULD continue to use the Request-URI for future requests. This response is only cachable if indicated by a Cache-Control or Expires header field. If the new URI is a location, its URL SHOULD be given by the Location field in the response. Unless the request method was HEAD, the entity of the response SHOULD contain a short hypertext note with a hyperlink to the new URI(s). If the 302 status code is received in response to a request other than GET or HEAD, the user agent MUST NOT automatically redirect the request unless it can be confirmed by the user, since this might change the conditions under which the request was issued. '''Note:''' When automatically redirecting a POST request after receiving a 302 status code, some existing HTTP/1.0 user agents will erroneously change it into a GET request. === 303 See Other === The response to the request can be found under a different URI and SHOULD be retrieved using a GET method on that resource. This method exists primarily to allow the output of a POST-activated script to redirect the user agent to a selected resource. The new URI is not a substitute reference for the originally requested resource. The 303 response is not cachable, but the response to the second (redirected) request MAY be cachable. If the new URI is a location, its URL SHOULD be given by the Location field in the response. Unless the request method was HEAD, the entity of the response SHOULD contain a short hypertext note with a hyperlink to the new URI(s). === 304 Not Modified === If the client has performed a conditional GET request and access is allowed, but the document has not been modified, the server SHOULD respond with this status code. The response MUST NOT contain a message-body. The response MUST include the following header fields: * Date * ETag and/or Content-Location, if the header would have been sent in a 200 response to the same request * Expires, Cache-Control, and/or Vary, if the field-value might differ from that sent in any previous response for the same variant If the conditional GET used a strong cache validator (see section 13.3.3), the response SHOULD NOT include other entity-headers. Otherwise (i.e., the conditional GET used a weak validator), the response MUST NOT include other entity-headers; this prevents inconsistencies between cached entity-bodies and updated headers. If a 304 response indicates an entity not currently cached, then the cache MUST disregard the response and repeat the request without the conditional. If a cache uses a received 304 response to update a cache entry, the cache MUST update the entry to reflect any new field values given in the response. The 304 response MUST NOT include a message-body, and thus is always terminated by the first empty line after the header fields. === 305 Use Proxy === The requested resource MUST be accessed through the proxy given by the Location field. The Location field gives the URL of the proxy. The recipient is expected to repeat the request via the proxy. == 4xx Client Error == The 4xx class of status code is intended for cases in which the client seems to have erred. Except when responding to a HEAD request, the server SHOULD include an entity containing an explanation of the error situation, and whether it is a temporary or permanent condition. These status codes are applicable to any request method. User agents SHOULD display any included entity to the user. '''Note:''' If the client is sending data, a server implementation using TCP should be careful to ensure that the client acknowledges receipt of the packet(s) containing the response, before the server closes the input connection. If the client continues sending data to the server after the close, the server's TCP stack will send a reset packet to the client, which may erase the client's unacknowledged input buffers before they can be read and interpreted by the HTTP application. === 400 Bad Request === The request could not be understood by the server due to malformed syntax. The client SHOULD NOT repeat the request without modifications. === 401 Unauthorized === The request requires user authentication. The response MUST include a WWW-Authenticate header field (section 14.46) containing a challenge applicable to the requested resource. The client MAY repeat the request with a suitable Authorization header field (section 14.8). If the request already included Authorization credentials, then the 401 response indicates that authorization has been refused for those credentials. If the 401 response contains the same challenge as the prior response, and the user agent has already attempted authentication at least once, then the user SHOULD be presented the entity that was given in the response, since that entity MAY include relevant diagnostic information. HTTP access authentication is explained in section 11. === 402 Payment Required === This code is reserved for future use. === 403 Forbidden === The server understood the request, but is refusing to fulfill it. Authorization will not help and the request SHOULD NOT be repeated. If the request method was not HEAD and the server wishes to make public why the request has not been fulfilled, it SHOULD describe the reason for the refusal in the entity. This status code is commonly used when the server does not wish to reveal exactly why the request has been refused, or when no other response is applicable. === 404 Not Found === The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI. No indication is given of whether the condition is temporary or permanent. If the server does not wish to make this information available to the client, the status code 403 (Forbidden) can be used instead. The 410 (Gone) status code SHOULD be used if the server knows, through some internally configurable mechanism, that an old resource is permanently unavailable and has no forwarding address. === 405 Method Not Allowed === The method specified in the Request-Line is not allowed for the resource identified by the Request-URI. The response MUST include an Allow header containing a list of valid methods for the requested resource. === 406 Not Acceptable === The resource identified by the request is only capable of generating response entities which have content characteristics not acceptable according to the accept headers sent in the request. Unless it was a HEAD request, the response SHOULD include an entity containing a list of available entity characteristics and location(s) from which the user or user agent can choose the one most appropriate. The entity format is specified by the media type given in the Content-Type header field. Depending upon the format and the capabilities of the user agent, selection of the most appropriate choice may be performed automatically. However, this specification does not define any standard for such automatic selection. '''Note:''' HTTP/1.1 servers are allowed to return responses which are not acceptable according to the accept headers sent in the request. In some cases, this may even be preferable to sending a 406 response. User agents are encouraged to inspect the headers of an incoming response to determine if it is acceptable. If the response could be unacceptable, a user agent SHOULD temporarily stop receipt of more data and query the user for a decision on further actions. === 407 Proxy Authentication Required === This code is similar to 401 (Unauthorized), but indicates that the client MUST first authenticate itself with the proxy. The proxy MUST return a Proxy-Authenticate header field (section 14.33) containing a challenge applicable to the proxy for the requested resource. The client MAY repeat the request with a suitable Proxy-Authorization header field (section 14.34). HTTP access authentication is explained in section 11. === 408 Request Timeout === The client did not produce a request within the time that the server was prepared to wait. The client MAY repeat the request without modifications at any later time. === 409 Conflict === The request could not be completed due to a conflict with the current state of the resource. This code is only allowed in situations where it is expected that the user might be able to resolve the conflict and resubmit the request. The response body SHOULD include enough information for the user to recognize the source of the conflict. Ideally, the response entity would include enough information for the user or user agent to fix the problem; however, that may not be possible and is not required. Conflicts are most likely to occur in response to a PUT request. If versioning is being used and the entity being PUT includes changes to a resource which conflict with those made by an earlier (third-party) request, the server MAY use the 409 response to indicate that it can't complete the request. In this case, the response entity SHOULD contain a list of the differences between the two versions in a format defined by the response Content-Type. === 410 Gone === The requested resource is no longer available at the server and no forwarding address is known. This condition SHOULD be considered permanent. Clients with link editing capabilities SHOULD delete references to the Request-URI after user approval. If the server does not know, or has no facility to determine, whether or not the condition is permanent, the status code 404 (Not Found) SHOULD be used instead. This response is cachable unless indicated otherwise. The 410 response is primarily intended to assist the task of web maintenance by notifying the recipient that the resource is intentionally unavailable and that the server owners desire that remote links to that resource be removed. Such an event is common for limited-time, promotional services and for resources belonging to individuals no longer working at the server's site. It is not necessary to mark all permanently unavailable resources as "gone" or to keep the mark for any length of time -- that is left to the discretion of the server owner. === 411 Length Required === The server refuses to accept the request without a defined Content-Length. The client MAY repeat the request if it adds a valid Content-Length header field containing the length of the message-body in the request message. === 412 Precondition Failed === The precondition given in one or more of the request-header fields evaluated to false when it was tested on the server. This response code allows the client to place preconditions on the current resource metainformation (header field data) and thus prevent the requested method from being applied to a resource other than the one intended. === 413 Request Entity Too Large === The server is refusing to process a request because the request entity is larger than the server is willing or able to process. The server may close the connection to prevent the client from continuing the request. If the condition is temporary, the server SHOULD include a Retry- After header field to indicate that it is temporary and after what time the client may try again. === 414 Request-URI Too Long === The server is refusing to service the request because the Request-URI is longer than the server is willing to interpret. This rare condition is only likely to occur when a client has improperly converted a POST request to a GET request with long query information, when the client has descended into a URL "black hole" of redirection (e.g., a redirected URL prefix that points to a suffix of itself), or when the server is under attack by a client attempting to exploit security holes present in some servers using fixed-length buffers for reading or manipulating the Request-URI. === 415 Unsupported Media Type === The server is refusing to service the request because the entity of the request is in a format not supported by the requested resource for the requested method. == 5xx Server Error == Response status codes beginning with the digit "5" indicate cases in which the server is aware that it has erred or is incapable of performing the request. Except when responding to a HEAD request, the server SHOULD include an entity containing an explanation of the error situation, and whether it is a temporary or permanent condition. User agents SHOULD display any included entity to the user. These response codes are applicable to any request method. === 500 Internal Server Error === The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request. === 501 Not Implemented === The server does not support the functionality required to fulfill the request. This is the appropriate response when the server does not recognize the request method and is not capable of supporting it for any resource. === 502 Bad Gateway === The server, while acting as a gateway or proxy, received an invalid response from the upstream server it accessed in attempting to fulfill the request. === 503 Service Unavailable === The server is currently unable to handle the request due to a temporary overloading or maintenance of the server. The implication is that this is a temporary condition which will be alleviated after some delay. If known, the length of the delay may be indicated in a Retry-After header. If no Retry-After is given, the client SHOULD handle the response as it would for a 500 response. '''Note:''' The existence of the 503 status code does not imply that a server must use it when becoming overloaded. Some servers may wish to simply refuse the connection. === 504 Gateway Timeout === The server, while acting as a gateway or proxy, did not receive a timely response from the upstream server it accessed in attempting to complete the request. === 505 HTTP Version Not Supported === The server does not support, or refuses to support, the HTTP protocol version that was used in the request message. The server is indicating that it is unable or unwilling to complete the request using the same major version as the client, as described in section 3.1, other than with this error message. The response SHOULD contain an entity describing why that version is not supported and what other protocols are supported by that server.

While this may be great for an NFS server, SMTP relay or web server, it is very poor for running any application which does its own cache management. This includes most databases (Oracle, DB2, Sybase, PostgreSQL, MySQL using InnoDB tables, TSM) and some other software (eg. the Squid web cache). Common symptoms include high paging (high <tt>pgspin</tt> and <tt>pgspout</tt> in <tt>[[topas]]</tt>), high system CPU time, the [[lrud kernel thread]] using CPU, slow overall system throughput, slow backups and slow process startup. For most database systems, the ideal solution is to use [[raw logical volumes]]. If this is not acceptable, then [[direct I/O]] and [[concurrent I/O]] should be used. If for some reason this is not possible, then the last solution is to tune the [[AIX]] file caches to be less aggressive. == Parameters == The four main parameters that should be tuned are the three controlling the size of the persistent file cache (<tt>minperm%</tt> and <tt>maxperm%</tt>) used for JFS filesystems, and the client file cache (<tt>maxclient%</tt>) used by NFS, CDRFS and JFS2 filesystems, and also the <tt>lru_file_repage</tt> parameter, which influences what pages the [[VMM]] page stealing algorithm will steal (present in AIX 5.2 ML4+ and AIX 5.3 ML1+). ; numperm% : Defines the current size of the persistent file cache. ; minperm% : Defines the minimum amount of RAM the persistent file cache may occupy. If <tt>numperm%</tt> is less than or equal to <tt>minperm%</tt>, file pages will not be stolen when RAM is required. ; maxperm% : Defines the maximum amount of RAM the persistent file cache may occupy before it is used as the sole source of new pages by the page stealing algorithm. By default, <tt>numperm%</tt> may exceed <tt>maxperm%</tt> if there is free memory available. The setting <tt>strict_maxperm</tt> may be set to one to change <tt>maxperm%</tt> into a hard limit, guaranteeing <tt>numperm%</tt> will never exceed <tt>maxperm%</tt>. ; strict_maxperm : As above, if set to 1, changes <tt>maxperm%</tt> into a hard limit. ; numclient% : Defines the current size of the client file cache. ; maxclient% : Defines the hard maximum size of the client file cache. ; strict_maxclient : Introduced in 5.2 ML4, allows the changing of <tt>maxclient%</tt> into a soft limit, similar to <tt>strict_maxperm</tt>. ; lru_file_repage : Introduced in AIX 5.2 ML4 and AIX 5.3 ML1, this influences the [[VMM]] page stealing algorithm. If set to 0, the algorithm will strongly prefer stealing file pages to satisfy memory requests. Note that <tt>maxclient%</tt> may never exceed <tt>maxperm%</tt>. In later versions of vmtune, this is enforced by changing both parameters if necessary. == Tuning for AIX 5.1 and Earlier == The tool to use is <tt>/usr/samples/kernel/vmtune<tt>, installed as part of the <tt>bos.adt.samples</tt> fileset. If run without options, it will display the currently configured tuneable values, and some of the current runtime values. '''Note:''' vmtume may be used to set the current runtime parameters only. To have changes take effect on reboot, vmtune must be initiated as part of the system startups. An example of a tuning command used on a system running Oracle may be: # /usr/samples/kernel/vmtune -p 3 -P 5 -h 1 -t 5 Which sets <tt>minperm%</tt> to 3%, <tt>maxperm%</tt> and <tt>maxclient%</tt> to 5%, and enables <tt>strict_maxperm</tt>. == Tuning for AIX 5.2 and Later == '''Note:''' AIX 5.2 includes a compatibility version of <tt>vmtune</tt>. It is probably most wise to become familiar with the new tools, instead of relying on the backwards compatibility commands. The main tool to use is <tt>/usr/sbin/vmo</tt>, installed as part of the <tt>bos.perf.tune</tt> fileset. To display current cache sizes (<tt>numperm%</tt> and <tt>numclient%</tt>) use <tt>vmstat -v</tt>. <tt>vmo</tt> can change both persistent (reboot) values as well as runtime values, and so does not need to be present in the startups. It stores the persistent values in the <tt>/etc/tunables/nextboot</tt> file. Current values and characteristics may be displayed using: # vmo -L NAME CUR DEF BOOT MIN MAX UNIT TYPE DEPENDENCIES -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- memory_frames 512K 512K 4KB pages S -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- pinnable_frames 427718 427718 4KB pages S -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- maxfree 128 128 128 16 200K 4KB pages D minfree memory_frames ... A similar example to the <tt>vmtune</tt> example above using <tt>vmo</tt> may be: # vmo -p -o minperm%=3 -o maxperm%=5 -o strict_maxperm=1 -o maxclient%=5 And if making use of <tt>lru_file_repage</tt>: # vmo -p -o minperm%=3 -o maxperm%=90 -o strict_maxperm=1 -o maxclient%=90 -o lru_file_repage=0 To check the current size of the persistent file cache and the client file cache, see the <tt>numperm</tt> and <tt>numclient</tt> values reported by <tt>vmstat&nbsp;-v</tt>: $ vmstat -v 524288 memory pages 474939 lruable pages ... 10.0 minperm percentage 20.0 maxperm percentage 44.5 numperm percentage 211365 file pages ... 19.7 numclient percentage 20.0 maxclient percentage 94027 client pages == See Also == === Internal === * [[direct I/O]] * [[concurrent I/O]] * [[lrud kernel thread]] === External === * [http://www-941.ibm.com/collaboration/wiki/display/WikiPtype/Performance+Monitoring+Documentation AIX Wiki Performance Monitoring], links to "VMM Tuning Tip: Protecting Computational Memory" and "Understanding DIO & CIO". * [http://www-03.ibm.com/support/techdocs/atsmastr.nsf/WebIndex/WP100556 Oracle 9i & 10g on IBM AIX5L: Tips & Considerations] White Paper. * [http://www-03.ibm.com/support/techdocs/atsmastr.nsf/WebIndex/WP100657 Oracle Architecture and Performance Tuning on AIX] White Paper. * [http://www-03.ibm.com/support/techdocs/atsmastr.nsf/WebIndex/WP100377 Tuning SAP R/3 with Oracle on pSeries] White Paper. * [http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/redp9122.html?Open JFS2/DIO Sequential Input/Output Performance on IBM pSeries 690] Redpaper.

In all cases, the cache attempts to keep recently used data in a small area that is faster than the large, slow primary storage area, with the hope that the data will be accessed again, soon. The system then benefits from the faster access times. The '''Cache Hit Ratio''' is the ratio of the number of cache hits to the number of misses, usually expressed as a percentage. Depending on the nature of the cache, expected hit ratios can vary from 60% to greater than 99%. [[image:Cachehitratio.png|thumb|200px|right|Cache Hit Ratio vs Relative Performance]] Cache Hit Ratios are inherently logarithmic; the closer to 100%, the exponentially greater the gains. A simple way of visualising the nature of cache hit ratios, is to attempt to convert a ratio to a relative performance metric (ie. "transactions" or "operations" per second), by estimating the relative costs of a cache hit and a cache miss. This can be expressed as: <math> \begin{align} a & = \mathit{cachehitcost}\; b & = \mathit{cachemisscost}\; r & = \mathit{cachehitratio}\; p & = \mathit{relativeperformance}\; p & = \frac{1}{a r + b(1 - r)}\; \end{align} </math> Graphically, given a cache miss cost of 0.005 s (5 ms) and a hit cost of 0.000001 s (1 &mu;s), which may be the case for a database engine (disk I/O vs virtual memory overheads), the exponential behaviour is clear. {{clr}} [[Category:Computer Related]] 930ec7796fa1c1761e7210be9a94a44c58066e08 0 730 2907 1650 2007-02-02T07:21:03Z Stix 2 spelling wikitext text/x-wiki The [[AIX]] Least Recently Used Daemon, invoked when free memory is required, it is responsible for scanning cached file pages in memory and freeing those not recently accessed. On an [[MP]] kernel in 4.3.3 and later, it is [[multi-threaded]] with the cached file pages broken up into multiple lists, whose size is controlled by the <code>lrubucket</code> parameter. Consistently high CPU usage by lrud indicates large amounts of file I/O occurring, and thrashing of the [[VMM]] file cache. If high paging rates are also seen, especially paging to and from [[swap spaces]], identified by the <tt>pi</tt> and <tt>po</tt> columns in <tt>vmstat</tt> or the <tt>pgspin</tt> and <tt>pgspout</tt> entries in <tt>[[topas]]</tt>, then [[Tuning the AIX file caches]] should also certainly be a priority. If lrud is consistently using high CPU on a system running a database engine that employs its own caching (e.g. [[Oracle]], [[DB2]], [[TSM]], [[PostgreSQL]]), then the use of [[raw logical volumes]] or [[AIX]] [[direct I/O]] may improve performance. == See Also == === Internal === * [[direct I/O]] * [[concurrent I/O]] * [[Tuning the AIX file caches]] === External === * [http://www-03.ibm.com/support/techdocs/atsmastr.nsf/032f6e163324983085256b79007f5aec/c82a72e602d0fc4b86256fc100683d73?OpenDocument Oracle 9i & 10g on IBM AIX5L: Tips & Considerations] White Paper.

Copy VCdRom.sys to your %systemroot%\system32\drivers folder. 2. Execute VCdControlTool.exe 3. Click "Driver control" 4. If the "Install Driver" button is available, click it. Navigate to the %systemroot%\system32\drivers folder, select VCdRom.sys, and click Open. 5. Click "Start" 6. Click OK 7. Click "Add Drive" to add a drive to the drive list. Ensure that the drive added is not a local drive. If it is, continue to click "Add Drive" until an unused drive letter is available. 8. Select an unused drive letter from the drive list and click "Mount". 9. Navigate to the image file, select it, and click "OK". UNC naming conventions should not be used, however mapped network drives should be OK. You may now use the drive letter as if it were a local CD-ROM device. When you are finished you may unmount, stop, and remove the driver from memory using the driver control. === Bugs === A few bugs I've tripped over: * Any hang in the driver will require a reboot to clear. * Attempting to mount a non- ISO-9660 image (eg. MS-DOS floppy image) may cause the driver to hang. * No support for Rock-Ridge Extensions (not really a bug, and not surprising, either).

And the Queen replies, "Well, I usually ask them riddles, and see how fast they respond. That's usually a good way to see if they can think for themselves." So the Queen calls Tony Blair in, and asks him, "If your Parents had a child, but it's not your sister, and it's not your brother, who is it?" And Tony Blair immediately replies, "That's easy, it's me!" And the Queen, who is very pleased, send Tony Blair away. Now, Bush, who is very impressed, brings the Queen to find Donald Rumsfield and asks him, "Hey Donald, if your parents had a kid, but it's not your sister, and it's not your brother, who is it?" And Rumsfield ponders for a long time, and then admits to Bush that he has no clue. Pissed off, Bush drags Rumsfield and the Queen to Dick Cheney, where Bush asks Cheney, "Hey Dick, if your parents had a kid, but it's not your sister or your brother, who is it?" And Cheney ponders for a long time, and then he finally lights up with an idea, and says "It's me!" And Bush gets REALLY pissed off, and yells at both of them, "NO YOU IDIOTS! IT'S TONY BLAIR!"

This can be expressed as: <math> \begin{align} a & = \mathit{cachehitcost}\\ b & = \mathit{cachemisscost}\\ r & = \mathit{cachehitratio}\\ p & = \mathit{relativeperformance}\\ p & = \frac{1}{a r + b(1 - r)}\\ \end{align} </math> Graphically, given a cache miss cost of 0.005 s (5 ms) and a hit cost of 0.000001 s (1 &mu;s), which may be the case for a database engine (disk I/O vs virtual memory overheads), the exponential behaviour is clear. {{clr}} [[Category:Computer Related]] 2b62516a919dd5173244a7fe4369228e846cf940 0 804 2934 2928 2007-04-06T12:59:53Z Stix 2 /* Miscellaneous */ Add Swarovski Crystal wikitext text/x-wiki == Friends Pages == * [http://wunit.net/ Mark Curtis and Katherine Howlin]. * [http://jorgi.id.au/ Jorgi's World] - Site of George Zamroz. * Brad "Blunatic" Olds.

If this limit is reached, errpt will report <tt>LVM_IO_FAIL</tt> errors with errno 16 (EBUSY). At this time, DLMManager may also log errors similar to: 6189 2006/02/28 11:06:04.844 DLMManager 0001A1BA 00000203 KAPL05819-I 1141085164 0401d800 00005333 004 000a0005 Data for maintenance: 0000010003 0000370010 0000000000 0000000000. This can indicate that either the HDLM driver was given an I/O that was too large, or that the HDLM buffers (<tt>pbufs</tt>) are exhausted. The current HDLM <tt>pbuf</tt> count can be displayed using: # dlmodmset -o Inquiry Log : on Inquiry Log File Size : 1000 hdisk error check flag : off HDLM pbuf count : 16384 Lun Reset : off KAPL10800-I The dlmodmset utility completed normally. It may be increased using: # dlmodmset -b 65536 KAPL10805-I The setup of the HDLM execution environment ODM will be changed. HDLM pbuf count = 65536. Is this OK? [y/n]:y KAPL10800-I The dlmodmset utility completed normally. This will only take effect after either a reboot or if the HDLM driver is completely reconfigured. The default value is 16384, and the maximum configurable value is 1000000. Increasing this value will increase AIX kernel memory use. The amount of kernel memory used by HDLM version 5.4.1-00 may be calculated using: 3 MiB + (360 bytes * maximum simultaneous I/O requests) + (4 KiB * Number of paths) == NOTE == This undesirable "feature" has been apparently fixed in HDLM 5.8.0. From the Release Notes: <blockquote> <nowiki>[5.8.0-00 Additional Functions and Modifications]</nowiki> # The following message, which will be output when more I/O requests than the biggest value set to the number of simultaneously issueable I/O are issued at one time and I/O was registered in the queue, has been added.<br>KAPL05503-I An I/O request has been queued. </blockquote> [[Category:AIX]] b0886d94bcdd700fbeefd9dac828e65f88e7f6af 0 1454 2937 2929 2007-04-20T22:24:03Z Stix 2 Add Saffire wikitext text/x-wiki * Kimya Dawson: Remember That I Love You (I Like Giants) * Medeski Scofield Martin & Wood: (Out Louder) Indirecto ir01 www.indirectorecords.com * The Knife: Silent Shout * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pendulum_(drum_and_bass_group) Pendulum] * Mason: Exceeder * Isaac Albéniz: Asturias (classical) * Tip to Toe - Katie Noonan * [http://www.saffire.com.au/index.html Saffire Guitar Quartet], [http://shop.abc.net.au/browse/product.asp?productid=347546 ABC shop] [[Category:Personal]] ecf1c7cddeb65ecea1585fcb7d583401401c6ec6 2943 2937 2007-05-07T22:09:07Z Stix 2 Add Regina Spektor wikitext text/x-wiki * Kimya Dawson: Remember That I Love You (I Like Giants) * Medeski Scofield Martin & Wood: (Out Louder) Indirecto ir01 www.indirectorecords.com * The Knife: Silent Shout * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pendulum_(drum_and_bass_group) Pendulum] * Mason: Exceeder * Isaac Albéniz: Asturias (classical) * Tip to Toe - Katie Noonan * [http://www.saffire.com.au/index.html Saffire Guitar Quartet], [http://shop.abc.net.au/browse/product.asp?productid=347546 ABC shop] * [http://www.reginaspektor.com/ Regina Spektor] [[Category:Personal]] 003957c7ec6bcebf3dfd340375cf55d6b29917b5 2944 2943 2007-05-07T22:11:31Z Stix 2 wikitext text/x-wiki * Kimya Dawson: Remember That I Love You (I Like Giants) * Medeski Scofield Martin & Wood: (Out Louder) Indirecto ir01 www.indirectorecords.com * The Knife: Silent Shout * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pendulum_(drum_and_bass_group) Pendulum] * Mason: Exceeder * Isaac Albéniz: Asturias (classical) * Tip to Toe - Katie Noonan * [http://www.saffire.com.au/index.html Saffire Guitar Quartet], [http://shop.abc.net.au/browse/product.asp?productid=347546 ABC shop] * [http://www.reginaspektor.com/ Regina Spektor] (also [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regina_Spektor wikipedia]) [[Category:Personal]] 318dbd27539d90f4d7f01ad7ff90f11d13eb98ee 0 1629 2938 2922 2007-04-23T08:49:28Z Stix 2 Fix grammar wikitext text/x-wiki Go to: "Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Disk Cleanup" and, under "More Options", click the bottom button to remove all but the most recent restore point.

IBM will not be responsible for damages of any kind resulting from its use. The use of this information is the sole responsibility of the customer and depends on the customer's ability to evaluate and integrate this information into the customer's operational environment. == Synchronizing Disk Names == === About This Document === Use the following script when the names of your hard disks are out of order (for example hdisk0, hdisk2, hdisk3 instead of hdisk0, hdisk1, hdisk2). The order of the disk names generally does not cause errors, but it may cause confusion for the user. Run the following '''dsksync''' script to alleviate such confusion. The script renames the hard disks. The order of the disks' names after you reboot the machine will be determined on the order they are detected by the device configuration process. For instance, a disk at the address 00-00-0S-00 will be numbered before a disk at the address 00-00-0S-20 or 00-05-00-00. This document applies to AIX Versions 3.1 through 4.2 on the RS/6000. === Procedure === Before running this script, make sure the key is in Normal position. lsdev -Cc disk | awk '{ print $1 }' | while read HDname; do odmdelete -q "name = $HDname " -o CuAt odmdelete -q "value = $HDname " -o CuAt odmdelete -q "name = $HDname " -o CuDv odmdelete -q "value3 = $HDname " -o CuDvDr odmdelete -q "name = $HDname " -o CuVPD odmdelete -q "name = $HDname " -o CuPath done rm -f /dev/hdisk* rm -f /dev/rhdisk* savebase When the shell script completes successfully, run the following command to shut down and reboot. shutdown -Fr [[Category:AIX]] 929c4b8e3b58902fb1f464d623829884932c320a 0 792 2946 2881 2007-05-14T21:57:36Z Stix 2 /* Current Bugs */ Add clone bug wikitext text/x-wiki == Current Bugs == * [http://www.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=35198 kern/36328] - clone(2) with CLONE_FILES can leak POSIX locks * [http://www.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=35198 kern/35198] - lfs_pchain corruption causing hang or panic * [http://www.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=35118 toolchain/35118] - gdb6 "bt" fails on kernel dumps. * [http://www.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=35099 port-m68k/35099] - pthread programs core on m68k.

Completed as part of my Honours Computer Science degree at the [http://www.uow.edu.au/ University of Wollongong], Australia. Originally written against Mac OS X 10.0.?, still merges in, compiles and runs fine on 10.2.3. If you are planning on downloading these, I strongly recommend downloading documentation for your particular PowerPC processor from [http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/homepage.jsp?nodeId=0162468rH3bTdG Freescale's web site]. Why a kernel modification you may ask? Why not IOKit? The osfmk portion of the kernel seems to be the only place where you can really control on which CPU you're doing what. So for SMP, that's the choice made. Since releasing the code, I've been made aware of Apple's own work in this area (thanks, Dave). Check out [http://developer.apple.com/tools/performance/overview.html CHUD Tools]. Theirs is broader than my version, and ships as a kext (wish I knew how they did that). * [ftp://stix.id.au/pub/Darwin/PerfMon/xnu-Apple-201-42-3.patch.gz xnu-Apple-201-42-3.patch.gz] ''6 848 bytes gzipped patch file'' * [ftp://stix.id.au/pub/Darwin/PerfMon/xnu-Apple-344-2.patch.gz xnu-Apple-344-2.patch.gz] ''6 833 bytes gzipped patch file'' : CVS diffs taken against xnu tagged Apple-201-42-3 and Apple-344-2 (Mac OS X 10.1.5 and 10.2.1, repectively). Not for the faint-hearted to apply and build! I must admit I had a great deal of fun the first time I tried, a year before instructions started showing up at places like Darwinfo, now [http://www.opendarwin.org OpenDarwin] and Apple's [http://developer.apple.com/darwin/ Darwin] site. The diff applies fine to Jaguar 10.2.1, and probably all the way back to the Public Betas (it's a very stable part of the kernel). * [ftp://stix.id.au/pub/Darwin/PerfMon/PerfMon-src.tgz PerfMon-src.tgz] ''58 764 bytes gzipped tar archive'' : Project Builder source code containing 4 plain Darwin command-line tools to get/set Performance Monitor registers via the Mach API (getpmc, getqpmc, setmmcr, clrpmc), and a Cocoa GUI Application which allows the real-time (hic) graphing of the various counters. Command line tools may break on Jaguar, due to the C99 conformance changing long long (64-bit quad-int) stdio behaviour. Update: Still works fine on Jaguar - although %llu (or the PRId64 macro) is more correct, %qu still works fine. setmmcr and clrpmc require root privileges to run, the Cocoa app uses the authentication framework to run setmmcr and clrpmc as required. To build these, you'll need to install the two changed headers (<mach/processor_info.h> and <mach/ppc/processor_info.h>) and run fixPrecomps. Not included is a sysctl interface I had begun work on, however, I never finished it.

While this may be great for an NFS server, SMTP relay or web server, it is very poor for running any application which does its own cache management. This includes most databases (Oracle, DB2, Sybase, PostgreSQL, MySQL using InnoDB tables, TSM) and some other software (eg. the Squid web cache). Common symptoms include high paging (high <tt>pgspin</tt> and <tt>pgspout</tt> in <tt>[[topas]]</tt>), high system CPU time, the [[lrud kernel thread]] using CPU, slow overall system throughput, slow backups and slow process startup. For most database systems, the ideal solution is to use [[raw logical volumes]]. If this is not acceptable, then [[direct I/O]] and [[concurrent I/O]] should be used. If for some reason this is not possible, then the last solution is to tune the [[AIX]] file caches to be less aggressive. == Parameters == The four main parameters that should be tuned are the three controlling the size of the persistent file cache (<tt>minperm%</tt> and <tt>maxperm%</tt>) used for JFS filesystems, and the client file cache (<tt>maxclient%</tt>) used by NFS, CDRFS and JFS2 filesystems, and also the <tt>lru_file_repage</tt> parameter, which influences what pages the [[VMM]] page stealing algorithm will steal (present in AIX 5.2 ML4+ and AIX 5.3 ML1+). ; numperm% : Defines the current size of the persistent file cache. ; minperm% : Defines the minimum amount of RAM the persistent file cache may occupy. If <tt>numperm%</tt> is less than or equal to <tt>minperm%</tt>, file pages will not be stolen when RAM is required. ; maxperm% : Defines the maximum amount of RAM the persistent file cache may occupy before it is used as the sole source of new pages by the page stealing algorithm. By default, <tt>numperm%</tt> may exceed <tt>maxperm%</tt> if there is free memory available. The setting <tt>strict_maxperm</tt> may be set to one to change <tt>maxperm%</tt> into a hard limit, guaranteeing <tt>numperm%</tt> will never exceed <tt>maxperm%</tt>. ; strict_maxperm : As above, if set to 1, changes <tt>maxperm%</tt> into a hard limit. ; numclient% : Defines the current size of the client file cache. ; maxclient% : Defines the hard maximum size of the client file cache. ; strict_maxclient : Introduced in 5.2 ML4, allows the changing of <tt>maxclient%</tt> into a soft limit, similar to <tt>strict_maxperm</tt>. ; lru_file_repage : Introduced in AIX 5.2 ML4 and AIX 5.3 ML1, this influences the [[VMM]] page stealing algorithm. If set to 0, the algorithm will strongly prefer stealing file pages to satisfy memory requests. Note that <tt>maxclient%</tt> may never exceed <tt>maxperm%</tt>. In later versions of vmtune, this is enforced by changing both parameters if necessary. == Tuning for AIX 5.1 and Earlier == The tool to use is <tt>/usr/samples/kernel/vmtune</tt>, installed as part of the <tt>bos.adt.samples</tt> fileset. If run without options, it will display the currently configured tuneable values, and some of the current runtime values. '''Note:''' vmtume may be used to set the current runtime parameters only. To have changes take effect on reboot, vmtune must be initiated as part of the system startups. An example of a tuning command used on a system running Oracle may be: # /usr/samples/kernel/vmtune -p 3 -P 5 -h 1 -t 5 Which sets <tt>minperm%</tt> to 3%, <tt>maxperm%</tt> and <tt>maxclient%</tt> to 5%, and enables <tt>strict_maxperm</tt>. == Tuning for AIX 5.2 and Later == '''Note:''' AIX 5.2 includes a compatibility version of <tt>vmtune</tt>. It is probably most wise to become familiar with the new tools, instead of relying on the backwards compatibility commands. The main tool to use is <tt>/usr/sbin/vmo</tt>, installed as part of the <tt>bos.perf.tune</tt> fileset. To display current cache sizes (<tt>numperm%</tt> and <tt>numclient%</tt>) use <tt>vmstat -v</tt>. <tt>vmo</tt> can change both persistent (reboot) values as well as runtime values, and so does not need to be present in the startups. It stores the persistent values in the <tt>/etc/tunables/nextboot</tt> file. Current values and characteristics may be displayed using: # vmo -L NAME CUR DEF BOOT MIN MAX UNIT TYPE DEPENDENCIES -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- memory_frames 512K 512K 4KB pages S -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- pinnable_frames 427718 427718 4KB pages S -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- maxfree 128 128 128 16 200K 4KB pages D minfree memory_frames ... A similar example to the <tt>vmtune</tt> example above using <tt>vmo</tt> may be: # vmo -p -o minperm%=3 -o maxperm%=5 -o strict_maxperm=1 -o maxclient%=5 And if making use of <tt>lru_file_repage</tt>: # vmo -p -o minperm%=3 -o maxperm%=90 -o strict_maxperm=1 -o maxclient%=90 -o lru_file_repage=0 To check the current size of the persistent file cache and the client file cache, see the <tt>numperm</tt> and <tt>numclient</tt> values reported by <tt>vmstat&nbsp;-v</tt>: $ vmstat -v 524288 memory pages 474939 lruable pages ... 10.0 minperm percentage 20.0 maxperm percentage 44.5 numperm percentage 211365 file pages ... 19.7 numclient percentage 20.0 maxclient percentage 94027 client pages == See Also == === Internal === * [[direct I/O]] * [[concurrent I/O]] * [[lrud kernel thread]] === External === * [http://www-941.ibm.com/collaboration/wiki/display/WikiPtype/Performance+Monitoring+Documentation AIX Wiki Performance Monitoring], links to "VMM Tuning Tip: Protecting Computational Memory" and "Understanding DIO & CIO". * [http://www-03.ibm.com/support/techdocs/atsmastr.nsf/WebIndex/WP100556 Oracle 9i & 10g on IBM AIX5L: Tips & Considerations] White Paper. * [http://www-03.ibm.com/support/techdocs/atsmastr.nsf/WebIndex/WP100657 Oracle Architecture and Performance Tuning on AIX] White Paper. * [http://www-03.ibm.com/support/techdocs/atsmastr.nsf/WebIndex/WP100377 Tuning SAP R/3 with Oracle on pSeries] White Paper. * [http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/redp9122.html?Open JFS2/DIO Sequential Input/Output Performance on IBM pSeries 690] Redpaper.

On an [[MP]] kernel in 4.3.3 and later, it is [[multi-threaded]] with the cached file pages broken up into multiple lists, whose size is controlled by the <tt>lrubucket</tt> parameter. Consistently high CPU usage by lrud indicates large amounts of file I/O occurring, and thrashing of the [[VMM]] file cache. If high paging rates are also seen, especially paging to and from [[swap spaces]], identified by the <tt>pi</tt> and <tt>po</tt> columns in <tt>vmstat</tt> or the <tt>pgspin</tt> and <tt>pgspout</tt> entries in <tt>[[topas]]</tt>, then [[Tuning the AIX file caches]] should also certainly be a priority. If lrud is consistently using high CPU on a system running a database engine that employs its own caching (e.g. [[Oracle]], [[DB2]], [[TSM]], [[PostgreSQL]]), then the use of [[raw logical volumes]] or [[AIX]] [[direct I/O]] may improve performance.

It was introduced in AIX 4.3. '''Direct I/O''' may be enabled via two methods: * Use of the <tt>O_DIRECT</tt> flag to the <tt>open(2)</tt> system call. * Use of the <tt>dio</tt> mount option. '''Direct I/O''' should be used where either the application does its own caching (like many databases, eg. [[Oracle]], [[DB2]], [[Sybase]], [[PostgreSQL]], [[TSM]], [[MySQL]] using [[InnoDB]]) or where the same data will not be read/written again for some time (eg. TSM disk storage pools). Bear in mind, that '''direct I/O''' performance still falls slightly short of the performance achieved by using [[raw logical volumes]]. With many applications, using [[raw logical volumes]] can be just as easy to manage. == Restrictions == * When using '''direct I/O''', all reads and writes must be aligned to, and a multiple of, the filesystem block size, often being between 512 bytes and 4 kibibytes. Any read/write request which does not meet this criteria will be forced to go through the file cache and [[VMM]]. * Any file mapped using <tt>mmap(2)</tt>, <tt>shm_open(2)</tt>, etc will default to using the file cache and [[VMM]] for all I/O from all processes. Once unmapped, I/O will return to using '''direct I/O'''. == See Also == === Internal === * [[lrud]] * [[concurrent I/O]] === External === * [http://www-941.ibm.com/collaboration/wiki/display/WikiPtype/Performance+Monitoring+Documentation AIX Wiki Performance Monitoring], link to "Understanding DIO & CIO". * [http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/aix/library/au-DirectIO.html Use Direct I/O to improve performance of your AIX applications] [[Category:AIX]] {{stub}} 3b40577c7ae60f06f8850bc006ebca661a349700 0 778 3006 1695 2007-09-07T08:34:22Z Stix 2 Add when introduced wikitext text/x-wiki Normally, the filesystem will serialize write I/Os to maintain a consistent view of files. That is, many reads may occur simultaneously to the one file, but only one write, which is enforced using a lock on the file [[inode]]. Applications that do their own serialization (eg databases), do not need this serialization to occur within the filesystem layer. '''Concurrent I/O''', which implies [[direct I/O]], allows more than one write to execute concurrently to the same file, giving a performance advantage in update-intensive environments. The [[inode]] lock is no longer taken except under some circumstances (eg extending a file). It was introduced in AIX 5.2 update 1 (5.2.0.10). '''Concurrent I/O''' may be enabled via two methods: * Use of the <tt>O_CIO</tt> flag to the <tt>open(2)</tt> system call. * Use of the <tt>cio</tt> mount option. == See Also == * [[direct I/O]] [[Category:AIX]] c479d789bd8ca37ec9d6953efffc7083f70bf25f 0 1662 3007 2007-09-12T04:16:19Z Stix 2 New page: == AIX 5.1 == The below information is taken from the script <tt>/etc/rc.powerfail</tt>.

In all cases, the cache attempts to keep recently used data in a small area that is faster than the large, slow primary storage area, with the hope that the data will be accessed again, soon. The system then benefits from the faster access times. The '''Cache Hit Ratio''' is the ratio of the number of cache hits to the number of misses, usually expressed as a percentage. Depending on the nature of the cache, expected hit ratios can vary from 60% to greater than 99%. [[image:Cachehitratio.png|thumb|200px|right|Cache Hit Ratio vs Relative Performance]] Cache Hit Ratios are inherently logarithmic; the closer to 100%, the exponentially greater the gains. A simple way of visualising the nature of cache hit ratios, is to attempt to convert a ratio to a relative performance metric (ie. "transactions" or "operations" per second), by estimating the relative costs of a cache hit and a cache miss. This can be expressed as: <math> \begin{align} a & = \mathit{cachehitcost}\\ b & = \mathit{cachemisscost}\\ r & = \mathit{cachehitratio}\\ p & = \mathit{relativeperformance}\\ p & = \frac{1}{a r + b(1 - r)}\\ \end{align} </math> Graphically, given a cache miss cost of 0.005 s (5 ms) and a hit cost of 0.000001 s (1 &mu;s), which may be the case for a database engine (disk I/O vs virtual memory overheads), the exponential behaviour is clear. It can also be seen, that the more disparate the hit and miss costs, as is the case in modern computer systems, the relative performance quickly approaches: <math> p = \frac{1}{1 - r} </math> Therefore the difference between two relative cache hit ratios, with a large difference between hit and miss costs, can be given by: <math> \frac{1 - r_{1}}{1 - r_{2}} </math> Example: The difference between 98% cache hit ratio and 95% cache hit ratio is a factor of 2.5. <math> \frac{1 - 0.95}{1 - 0.92} = 2.5 </math> {{clr}} [[Category:Computer Related]] b2ac028c3a20384b7fb0bd53651d4edf74aeecd0 0 792 3017 2947 2007-09-29T14:09:40Z Stix 2 /* Current Bugs */ add 36690, 37037 wikitext text/x-wiki == Current Bugs == * [http://www.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=37037 kern/37037] - ipnat: Data modified on freelist * [http://www.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=36690 kern/36690] - KASSERT(delta > 0) in kern_physio, with tape block size mismatch * [http://www.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=36328 kern/36328] - clone(2) with CLONE_FILES can leak POSIX locks * [http://www.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=35198 kern/35198] - lfs_pchain corruption causing hang or panic * [http://www.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=35118 toolchain/35118] - gdb6 "bt" fails on kernel dumps. * [http://www.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=35099 port-m68k/35099] - pthread programs core on m68k.

On an [[MP]] kernel in 4.3.3 and later, it is [[multi-threaded]] with the cached file pages broken up into multiple lists, whose size is controlled by the <tt>lrubucket</tt> parameter. Consistently high CPU usage by lrud indicates large amounts of file I/O occurring, and thrashing of the [[VMM]] file cache.

All these are in use in various parts of our world, and can make life on the internet confusing, at the least. The "MM/DD/YY" format is common in U.S.A., here in Australia and in the UK the format "DD/MM/YY" is widely used. And in Europe and parts of Asia, "YY/MM/DD" is in common use. So what can be done? Simple, follow the standard: ISO 8601:1988 - International Date Format. For dates, this standard recommends the following format: <center>'''YYYY-MM-DD'''</center> This format has a few advantages: # It is unambiguous. A useful trait, one would think. # It has a consistent length. # It may be easily sorted (for those UNIX geeks, think <tt>sort</tt>(1)). # It is recognised by far more people world wide than any other format. # It is consistent with common time formats (HH:MM:SS), that is, most significant units come first. # It is a '''standard''', from the [http://www.iso.ch/ International Organisation for Standardisation].

The system here... wikitext text/x-wiki When is a CPU second not a CPU second? When you are running with hyper-threading (aka HT, HTT, Symmetric Multi-Threading (SMT), etc) enabled. Here's a simple demonstration. The system here has a "Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz", single core (one "physical" CPU) with hyper-threading enabled (giving two "logical" CPUs), running NetBSD 4.0 with an SMP kernel. We run a deterministic unit of work on an idle system: ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 10.28s real 10.05s user 0.24s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 10.26s real 10.05s user 0.20s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 10.31s real 10.08s user 0.23s system The times are fairly consistent, and, roughly, real = user + sys. Next we add an arbitrary load to the system. We assume the kernel will now schedule each thread on each logical CPU, and it is then up to the CPUs hyper-threading algorithm how the instructions are scheduled on the single core. ksh$ perl -e 'while(1){}' & [1] 9382 ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 15.36s real 14.96s user 0.36s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 15.49s real 14.97s user 0.34s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 15.41s real 14.95s user 0.37s system OK, so what has happened here? The real time has increased by about 50%, but so has the user time. On the same system with hyper-threading disabled, you would expect the user time to remain about the same, and the real time to approximately double. Here, because both threads are really sharing the same core and its resources, they tend to compete and slow each other down. However, as the real time has not doubled, the overall throughput of the system has increased over the uni-processor case. Also, adding more load only increases the real time, as only two threads can ever be executed in parallel. ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 38.14s real 15.12s user 0.33s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 34.45s real 15.11s user 0.25s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 37.96s real 15.04s user 0.34s system In truth, similar effects can be seen with other shared resources, just not as easily. Some examples include shared L2/L3 caches, and memory bandwidth. Both may increase the CPU time required for a given unit of work. == See Also == * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyper-threading Hyper-threading] at [http://en.wikipedia.org/ wikipedia.org]. * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simultaneous_multithreading Simultaneous multithreading] at [http://en.wikipedia.org/ wikipedia.org].

The order of the disk names generally does not cause errors, but it may cause confusion for the user. Run the following '''dsksync''' script to alleviate such confusion. The script renames the hard disks. The order of the disks' names after you reboot the machine will be determined on the order they are detected by the device configuration process. For instance, a disk at the address 00-00-0S-00 will be numbered before a disk at the address 00-00-0S-20 or 00-05-00-00. This document applies to AIX Versions 3.1 through 4.2 on the RS/6000.

I also try to get some cycling in, with the cycleway only a few hundred metres from my unit, there's no excuses.

As well as these, I was introduced to skiing at an early age, with my parents both being ski instructors at various times. Although during high school, downhill skiing wasn't quite in the budget, so I enjoyed some cross-country skiing (traditional, not skating). Now, with a good job, I try to get a weeks downhill skiing in each year, with some cross country skiing on the side.

Mainly written under [http://www.NetBSD.org NetBSD] and [http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/ Darwin], tested under [[AIX]], [http://www.linux.org/ Linux], [http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/ Solaris] and [http://h30097.www3.hp.com/ Tru64]. From the README: ==== fblckgen ==== '''fblckgen''' generates blocks of data, either a repeating ascii sequence which is very compressible, or a pseudo-random binary sequence, which, although very simple, does not compress. Very handy for benchmarking tape drives, or just making a sized lump of data. By using double buffering and either pthreads or multiple processes, it can generally keep a tape drive busy. Filling an LTO1 tape with pseudo-random data: sh$ fblckgen -rb 64k -c 0 > /dev/nrst1 Write failed: Input/output error 105722740736 bytes written in 7064.506 secs (14614.590 KB/sec) ==== iohammer ==== '''iohammer''' does what it says - very similar to a tool named `rawio' floating out on the 'net. Using multiple threads (either pthreads or multiple processes) '''iohammer''' will issue random I/Os, with a percentage based write ratio to a file or raw device. Good for comparing different disk layouts (RAID5, RAID0, RAID1, RAID0+1, RAID3, etc), stripe unit sizes, and general disk random I/O performance. Very good to see the difference the <tt>queue_depth</tt> parameter makes under [[AIX]]! Testing random read performance on a raw partition: sh$ iohammer -f /dev/vnd0d -c 10k Size 1073741824: 121.097 secs, 10240 IOs, 0 writes 84.6 IOs/sec, 11.83 ms average seek ==== mbdd ==== '''mbdd''' is a threaded version of dd, without all the extras. It maintains a number of buffers, a thread to read from standard input to fill the buffers, a thread to (optionally) write to standard output, and threads for any additional destinations, emptying the buffers. Several reads may be done to fill a buffer entirely. A partial write (not a full buffer length) will abort the copy. Its primary use is as a buffer between bursty, non-threaded programs. One example is its use between <tt>tar</tt>(1) and <tt>bzip2</tt>(1), allowing both utilities to attempt to run without waiting on the other. As a buffer between <tt>tar</tt>(1) and <tt>bzip2</tt>(1), using a total of 20 MiB buffer space: sh$ time tar -cf - . | mbdd -n 320 | bzip2 > /tmp/arc.tar.bz2 807311360 bytes transferred in 374.285 secs (2106.392 KiB/sec) 88694 partial reads, 218.527 average buffers full 374.37s real 311.43s user 18.64s system Compared to without: sh$ time tar -cf - . | bzip2 > /tmp/arc.tar.bz2 556.37s real 307.44s user 11.60s system === Download === [ftp://stix.id.au/pub/unix/iotools-2.1.tgz iotools-2.1.tgz] ''77&nbsp;790 bytes gzipped source tarball via FTP'' === See Also === HTML man pages for [http://stix.id.au/software/fblckgen.html fblckgen(1)], [http://stix.id.au/software/iohammer.html iohammer(1)] and [http://stix.id.au/software/mbdd.html mbdd(1)].

The time zone rule is defined by the exported environment variable <tt>TZ</tt> (usually found in <tt>/etc/environment</tt>), and for Sydney, Australia, we use the value: EST-10EDT,M10.1.0/02:00:00,M4.1.0/03:00:00 The two labels, "EST" and "EDT", are actually arbitrary strings that may have any value. The definition of all the various fields may be found in the [http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/pseries/v5r3/topic/com.ibm.aix.files/doc/aixfiles/environment.htm AIX <tt>environment file</tt> man page]. IBM's packaged versions of Java above 1.2 include a table to map the above labels into a longer (appears to be <tt>zic</tt> style) time zone rule name. For example, Sydney Australia is: Australia/Sydney However, what are the short labels that map to Sydney? "EST" selects American "Eastern Standard Time". In fact, the appropriate rule to map to Sydney is: EET-10EETDT This mapping of the short versions to the longer strings is deprecated, and should not be used. There are two ways to do this properly: # Export the environment variable <tt>TZ=Australia/Sydney</tt> prior to starting the JVM. The disadvantage of this method is that any external process initiated by Java will have this TZ value, and the standard C library will default to GMT. # Set the correct time zone from within Java. This means the existing AIX value of TZ will be unchanged, and continue to work as before. To set the time zone in Java, use the following code fragment: TimeZone.setDefault(TimeZone.getTimeZone("Australia/Sydney")); For a full list of available Java time zones, see the file: $JAVAHOME/jre/lib/tzmappings However, the best method may be to create a custom Java time zone definition as described in [[Java, Time Zones and Daylight Savings changes]], allowing full control over all aspects of the definition. == See Also == * [[Java, Time Zones and Daylight Savings changes]]. * [http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg3T1000252 Managing the Time Zone Variable] IBM Technote.

Instead, it ships with rules compiled into the runtime libraries. This means that any changes made to daylight savings rules (like those made in Australia for the Commonwealth Games 2006) will require patches to the Java installation, or programs that are sensitive to time will require source code modifications and recompilation. Apart from the IBM WebSphere patches at the below link, I am unable to find any other patches relating to JRE. To fix a program, code similar to the following should be placed into the initialisation routines: java.util.TimeZone.setDefault(new java.util.SimpleTimeZone( 10 * 3600 * 1000, "Australia/Sydney", java.util.Calendar.OCTOBER, 1, java.util.Calendar.SUNDAY, 2 * 3600 * 1000, java.util.Calendar.APRIL, 1, java.util.Calendar.SUNDAY, 3 * 3600 * 1000, 1 * 3600 * 1000)); This defines the default time zone rule to be based on the Java <tt>Australia/Sydney</tt> time zone, but to start daylight savings at 2 AM standard time on the first Sunday in October, and end at 3 AM daylight time (2 AM standard time) on the first Sunday in April. The [ftp://stix.id.au/pub/Java/TimeTest.java TimeTest.java] source code may be used as a starting point for experimentation. I have checked the above information on native Java versions from 1.2.2 through 1.4.2, on Windows, AIX, Solaris, Linux and Darwin (Mac OS X), and also Kaffe 1.4.2 on NetBSD. '''Update 2006-12-04:''' Beginning with Java 1.4, Java on some platforms (eg Win32, but '''not''' AIX) ship with binary time zone files built from the freely available [ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/ Olson tzdata] source files.

When you are running with hyper-threading (aka HT, HTT, Symmetric Multi-Threading (SMT), etc) enabled. Here's a simple demonstration. The system here has a "Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz", single core (one "physical" CPU) with hyper-threading enabled (giving two "logical" CPUs), running NetBSD 4.0 with an SMP kernel. We run a deterministic unit of work on an idle system: ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 10.28s real 10.05s user 0.24s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 10.26s real 10.05s user 0.20s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 10.31s real 10.08s user 0.23s system The times are fairly consistent, and, roughly, real = user + sys. Next we add an arbitrary load to the system. We assume the kernel will now schedule each thread on each logical CPU, and it is then up to the CPUs hyper-threading algorithm how the instructions are scheduled on the single core. ksh$ perl -e 'while(1){}' & [1] 9382 ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 15.36s real 14.96s user 0.36s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 15.49s real 14.97s user 0.34s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 15.41s real 14.95s user 0.37s system OK, so what has happened here? The real time has increased by about 50%, but so has the user time. On the same system with hyper-threading disabled, you would expect the user time to remain about the same, and the real time to approximately double. Here, because both threads are really sharing the same core and its resources, they tend to compete and slow each other down. However, as the real time has not doubled, the overall throughput of the system has increased over the uni-processor case. Also, adding more load only increases the real time, as only two threads can ever be executed in parallel. ksh$ perl -e 'while(1){}' & [2] 12480 ksh$ perl -e 'while(1){}' & [3] 29686 ksh$ perl -e 'while(1){}' & [4] 12019 ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 38.14s real 15.12s user 0.33s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 34.45s real 15.11s user 0.25s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 37.96s real 15.04s user 0.34s system In truth, similar effects can be seen with other shared resources, just not as easily. Some examples include shared L2/L3 caches, and memory bandwidth. Both may increase the CPU time required for a given unit of work. == See Also == * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyper-threading Hyper-threading] at [http://en.wikipedia.org/ wikipedia.org]. * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simultaneous_multithreading Simultaneous multithreading] at [http://en.wikipedia.org/ wikipedia.org].

Instead, it ships with rules compiled into the runtime libraries. This means that any changes made to daylight savings rules (like those made in Australia for the Commonwealth Games 2006) will require patches to the Java installation, or programs that are sensitive to time will require source code modifications and recompilation. Apart from the IBM WebSphere patches at the below link, I am unable to find any other patches relating to JRE. To fix a program, code similar to the following should be placed into the initialisation routines: java.util.TimeZone.setDefault(new java.util.SimpleTimeZone( 10 * 3600 * 1000, "Australia/Sydney", java.util.Calendar.OCTOBER, 1, java.util.Calendar.SUNDAY, 2 * 3600 * 1000, java.util.Calendar.APRIL, 1, java.util.Calendar.SUNDAY, 3 * 3600 * 1000, 1 * 3600 * 1000)); This defines the default time zone rule to be based on the Java <tt>Australia/Sydney</tt> time zone, but to start daylight savings at 2 AM standard time on the first Sunday in October, and end at 3 AM daylight time (2 AM standard time) on the first Sunday in April. The [ftp://stix.id.au/pub/Java/TimeTest.java TimeTest.java] source code may be used as a starting point for experimentation.

Do you find that your Android takes a long time to return to the home screen? That's the screen with the icons and various widgets... it may even present the "Force close/Wait" dialog before the screen is fully drawn. The Android OS manages memory carefully, and stops and starts applications as necessary to keep things running. Just because an application appears to be in the foreground doesn't mean it is running, and just because an application is not visible doesn't mean it is not still running. One of the reasons for the home screen to take some time to display is if that application has been stopped to make room for others. However, there is a simple fix - tell the Android OS not to stop the Home process. From a root shell: # setprop ro.HOME_APP_ADJ 0 If you want this change to be permanent: # echo 'ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=0' >> /data/local.prop See <tt>/init.rc</tt> on an Android phone for more variables, and <tt>frameworks/base/services/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityManagerService.java</tt> in the Android source for how these are handled.

Somewhat hard to find on the Microsoft site, and does not appear to have a description page.

It can be used as a free, less powerful alternative to Alcohol 120% from [http://www.alcohol-soft.com/ Alcohol Software] or [http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/ DAEMON Tools]. From the Readme: Readme for Virtual CD-ROM Control Panel v2.0.1.1 THIS TOOL IS UNSUPPORT BY MICROSOFT PRODUCT SUPPORT SERVICES System Requirements =================== - Windows XP Home or Windows XP Professional Installation instructions ========================= 1. Copy VCdRom.sys to your %systemroot%\system32\drivers folder. 2. Execute VCdControlTool.exe 3. Click "Driver control" 4. If the "Install Driver" button is available, click it. Navigate to the %systemroot%\system32\drivers folder, select VCdRom.sys, and click Open. 5. Click "Start" 6. Click OK 7. Click "Add Drive" to add a drive to the drive list. Ensure that the drive added is not a local drive. If it is, continue to click "Add Drive" until an unused drive letter is available. 8. Select an unused drive letter from the drive list and click "Mount". 9. Navigate to the image file, select it, and click "OK". UNC naming conventions should not be used, however mapped network drives should be OK. You may now use the drive letter as if it were a local CD-ROM device. When you are finished you may unmount, stop, and remove the driver from memory using the driver control. === Bugs === A few bugs I've tripped over: * Any hang in the driver will require a reboot to clear. * Attempting to mount a non- ISO-9660 image (eg. MS-DOS floppy image) may cause the driver to hang. * No support for Rock-Ridge Extensions (not really a bug, and not surprising, either). Get a UNIX box. And, obviously: * Won't work on Vista. * Won't work on Windows 7.

Gradually add flour while whisking gently. Beat until there are no lumps of flour present. It must be still possible to pour the mixture! Melt a little butter in a Teflon pan, sufficient to cover the pan. When the butter sizzles, then pour a little of the mixture into the pan, letting it "run". Turn with an egg lifter when brown to brown the other side. Add a little butter to the pan before each pancake. Use a higher heat for the first pancake, say 3/4, then turn down a bit for the next ones. Makes 4 pancakes approximately 14 cms in diameter. Best served with real Canadian Maple Syrup.

I sat through hundreds of hours of sociology courses, and read gobs of sociology writing, and I never once heard or read a coherent statement. This is because sociologists want to be considered scientists, so they spend most of their time translating simple, obvious observations into scientific-sounding code. If you plan to major in sociology, you'll have to learn to do the same thing. For example, suppose you have observed that children cry when they fall down. You should write: "Methodological observation of the sociometrical behavior tendencies of prematurated isolates indicates that a causal relationship exists between groundward tropism and lachrimatory behavior forms." If you can keep this up for 50 or 60 pages, you will get a large government grant. ---- If I were a blue spider, I would certainly ride on a train all the way from Avallon to Paris, and I would set up my house on the nose of a chocolate penguin.

Perlis ---- People who think they know everything really annoy those of us who know we don't.<br> -- Bjarne Stroustrup ---- A sense of humor is a measurement of the extent to which we realize that we are trapped in a world almost totally devoid of reason. Laughter is how we express the anxiety we feel at this knowledge.<br> -- Dave Barry ---- I love deadlines.

It isn't her's. It isn't our's either. It's ours, and likewise it's theirs and yours. ---- SOCIOLOGY: For sheer lack of intelligibility, sociology is far and away the number one subject. I sat through hundreds of hours of sociology courses, and read gobs of sociology writing, and I never once heard or read a coherent statement. This is because sociologists want to be considered scientists, so they spend most of their time translating simple, obvious observations into scientific-sounding code. If you plan to major in sociology, you'll have to learn to do the same thing. For example, suppose you have observed that children cry when they fall down. You should write: "Methodological observation of the sociometrical behavior tendencies of prematurated isolates indicates that a causal relationship exists between groundward tropism and lachrimatory behavior forms." If you can keep this up for 50 or 60 pages, you will get a large government grant. ---- If I were a blue spider, I would certainly ride on a train all the way from Avallon to Paris, and I would set up my house on the nose of a chocolate penguin.

More is more. More is better. And twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad. And too much is never enough except when it's just about right."<br> -- The Tick ---- UFO's are for real: the Air Force doesn't exist. ---- "In the drowsy dark cave of the mind dreams<br> build their nest with fragments dropped from day's caravan."<br> -- Rabindranath Tagore ---- I have made this letter longer than usual because I lack the time to make it shorter.<br> -- Blaise Pascal ---- WARNING: Suffering attention deficit disorder and I'm not afraid to spread it. Now stand back or I'll.. mmm cheesecake<br> -- Homer Simpson ---- Support mental health or I'll kill you. ---- "I went into a general store, and they wouldn't sell me anything specific".<br> -- Steven Wright ---- Reality is what, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. ---- Reality is a crutch for people who can't cope with drugs.<br> -- Lily Tomlin ---- Failure is not an option.

Let me go upstairs and check.<br> -- M.C. Escher (1898-1972) ---- Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.<br> If you aren't in over your head, how do you know how tall you are?<br> -- T.S. Elliot ---- My father (a lawyer) told me that company culture is driven from the top -- if it's the people who make the product, you're good; sell the product, you're OK. If the accountants take over, look for another job, and if the lawyers take over, run as fast as you can the other way.<br> -- Alden Hart ---- == Latin == ; Sed quis custodiet ipsos custodes? : Who watches the watchmen? ---- ; Ubi dubium ibi libertas : Where there is doubt there is freedom. ---- == Religion == I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.<br> -- Galileo Galilei ---- I contend that we are both atheists.

Clarke ---- == Computers == The process of preparing programs for a digital computer is especially attractive, not only because it can be economically and scientifically rewarding, but also because it can be an aesthetic experience much like composing poetry or music.<br> -- Donald Knuth ---- Because user errors often produce unpredictable results, the user should try to avoid them.<br> --IBM MVS/XA System Programming Library ---- ...and then we wrote scripts to write the configs for us, and using these scripts, we made mistakes in a faster, more automated manner.<br> -- 'A Gentle Introduction to Cricket', on MRTG configuration ---- Micro Credo: Never trust a computer bigger than you can lift. ---- Anything that can be done in O(N) can be done in O(N^2).<br> -- Ralf Schuettau (after looking at a particular piece of code) ---- 101 reasons why you can't find your Sysadmin:<br> 68: It's 9AM.

The order of the disk names generally does not cause errors, but it may cause confusion for the user. Run the following '''dsksync''' script to alleviate such confusion.

In all cases, the cache attempts to keep recently used data in a small area that is faster than the large, slow primary storage area, with the hope that the data will be accessed again, soon. The system then benefits from the faster access times. The '''Cache Hit Ratio''' is the ratio of the number of cache hits to the number of misses, usually expressed as a percentage. Depending on the nature of the cache, expected hit ratios can vary from 60% to greater than 99%. [[image:Cachehitratio.png|thumb|200px|right|Cache Hit Ratio vs Relative Performance]] Cache Hit Ratios are inherently logarithmic; the closer to 100%, the exponentially greater the gains. A simple way of visualising the nature of cache hit ratios, is to attempt to convert a ratio to a relative performance metric (ie. "transactions" or "operations" per second), by estimating the relative costs of a cache hit and a cache miss. This can be expressed as: <math> \begin{align} a & = \mathit{cachehitcost}\\ b & = \mathit{cachemisscost}\\ r & = \mathit{cachehitratio}\\ p & = \mathit{relativeperformance}\\ p & = \frac{1}{a r + b(1 - r)}\\ \end{align} </math> Graphically, given a cache miss cost of 0.005 s (5 ms) and a hit cost of 0.000001 s (1 &mu;s), which may be the case for a database engine (disk I/O vs virtual memory overheads), the exponential behaviour is clear. It can also be seen, that the more disparate the hit and miss costs, as is the case in modern computer systems, the relative performance quickly approaches: <math> p = \frac{1}{1 - r} </math> Therefore the difference between two relative cache hit ratios, with a large difference between hit and miss costs, can be given by: <math> \frac{1 - r_{1}}{1 - r_{2}} </math> Example: The difference between 98% cache hit ratio and 95% cache hit ratio is a factor of 2.5. <math> \frac{1 - 0.95}{1 - 0.92} = 2.5 </math> {{clr}} [[Category:Computer Related]] [[Category:Mathematics]] 6e42b661201c67fc23523d91fb134a75bc1db774 0 1687 3137 2011-09-30T01:29:22Z Stix 2 Created page with 'Creamy Pasta stir fry == Ingredients == * capsicum * onion * chorizo sausage * bacon * mushrooms * shallots * garlic * basil * salt + Pepper * tinned crushed tomatos * thickene…' wikitext text/x-wiki Creamy Pasta stir fry == Ingredients == * capsicum * onion * chorizo sausage * bacon * mushrooms * shallots * garlic * basil * salt + Pepper * tinned crushed tomatos * thickened cream == Method == Chop coarsely the capsicum, onion, chorizo sausage, bacon, mushrooms and shallots, and fry.

I sat through hundreds of hours of sociology courses, and read gobs of sociology writing, and I never once heard or read a coherent statement. This is because sociologists want to be considered scientists, so they spend most of their time translating simple, obvious observations into scientific-sounding code. If you plan to major in sociology, you'll have to learn to do the same thing. For example, suppose you have observed that children cry when they fall down. You should write: "Methodological observation of the sociometrical behavior tendencies of prematurated isolates indicates that a causal relationship exists between groundward tropism and lachrimatory behavior forms."

If you plan to major in sociology, you'll have to learn to do the same thing. For example, suppose you have observed that children cry when they fall down. You should write: "Methodological observation of the sociometrical behavior tendencies of prematurated isolates indicates that a causal relationship exists between groundward tropism and lachrimatory behavior forms."

The danger is profound and terrible; it cannot be waved aside with easy optimism. '''The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt'''. Even those of the intelligent who believe that they have a nostrum are too individualistic to combine with other intelligent men from whom they differ on minor points. This was not always the case.<br> -- "The Triumph of Stupidity" (1933-05-10) in Mortals and Others: Bertrand Russell's American Essays, 1931-1935 (Routledge, 1998, ISBN 0-415-17866-5), p. 28 ---- It has often and confidently been asserted, that man's origin can never be known: '''but ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge''': it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science.<br> -- "The Descent of Man" (1871), Charles Darwin, Introduction, p. 4. ---- Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.<br> -- Albert Einstein ---- Science literacy is a vaccine against the charlatans of the world that would exploit your ignorance.<br> -- Neil deGrasse Tyson ---- Some people have a mental horizon of radius zero, and call it their point of view.<br> -- David Hilbert ---- The more complex the mind, the greater the need for the simplicity of play.<br> -- Captain Kirk, "Shore Leave" ---- When you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to reform.<br> -- Mark Twain ---- Is this *idiocy*?

Laughter is how we express the anxiety we feel at this knowledge.<br> -- Dave Barry ---- I love deadlines.

It isn't her's. It isn't our's either. It's ours, and likewise it's theirs and yours. ---- SOCIOLOGY: For sheer lack of intelligibility, sociology is far and away the number one subject. I sat through hundreds of hours of sociology courses, and read gobs of sociology writing, and I never once heard or read a coherent statement. This is because sociologists want to be considered scientists, so they spend most of their time translating simple, obvious observations into scientific-sounding code. If you plan to major in sociology, you'll have to learn to do the same thing. For example, suppose you have observed that children cry when they fall down. You should write: "Methodological observation of the sociometrical behavior tendencies of prematurated isolates indicates that a causal relationship exists between groundward tropism and lachrimatory behavior forms." If you can keep this up for 50 or 60 pages, you will get a large government grant. ---- If I were a blue spider, I would certainly ride on a train all the way from Avallon to Paris, and I would set up my house on the nose of a chocolate penguin.

Indeed, it usually tastes better reheated. == Ingredients == * olive oil * 2 x brown onions * about 1 tablespoon garlic (either minced or fresh) * about 1 tablespoon ginger (minced) * 200g ham * 2 x 800g tinned chopped tomatoes * about 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar * 3 carrots * &frac14; cup Worcester sauce * 5 to 10 birds eye chillies, or dry chilli flakes (obviously optional; spices it up a little) * 1kg beef & pork mince (not lean, if you really want flavour) * about 1 tablespoon oregano (dry or fresh) == Method == Dice onion, the finer the better, and fry with olive oil in the bottom of a large pot until it turns clear, under medium heat. Dice ham, add to pot and fry for a few minutes. Add garlic (if using fresh garlic, mince, crush, use food processor, etc) and ginger, stir. Add tomatoes, dark brown sugar and worcester sauce to the pot. Grate carrots; being lazy, I tend to use a small food processor to grate carrots and fresh chillies together. Mix. Break the mince into the pot and stir thoroughly to break up lumps. Stir in oregano. Place pot uncovered in oven preheated to 180&deg;C (~350&deg;F). Check and stir every 30 minutes. Cook for between 1 and 2 hours, until the mixture thickens considerably.

When you are running with hyper-threading (aka HT, HTT, Symmetric Multi-Threading (SMT), etc) enabled. Here's a simple demonstration. == NetBSD 4.0 on a Pentium 4 == The system here has a "Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz", single core (one "physical" CPU) with hyper-threading enabled (giving two "logical" CPUs), running NetBSD 4.0 with an SMP kernel. We run a deterministic unit of work on an idle system: ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 10.28s real 10.05s user 0.24s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 10.26s real 10.05s user 0.20s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 10.31s real 10.08s user 0.23s system The times are fairly consistent, and, roughly, real = user + sys. Next we add an arbitrary load to the system. We assume the kernel will now schedule each thread on each logical CPU, and it is then up to the CPUs hyper-threading algorithm how the instructions are scheduled on the single core. ksh$ perl -e 'while(1){}' & [1] 9382 ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 15.36s real 14.96s user 0.36s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 15.49s real 14.97s user 0.34s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 15.41s real 14.95s user 0.37s system OK, so what has happened here? The real time has increased by about 50%, but so has the user time. On the same system with hyper-threading disabled, you would expect the user time to remain about the same, and the real time to approximately double. Here, because both threads are really sharing the same core and its resources, they tend to compete and slow each other down. However, as the real time has not doubled, the overall throughput of the system has increased over the uni-processor case. Also, adding more load only increases the real time, as only two threads can ever be executed in parallel. ksh$ perl -e 'while(1){}' & [2] 12480 ksh$ perl -e 'while(1){}' & [3] 29686 ksh$ perl -e 'while(1){}' & [4] 12019 ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 38.14s real 15.12s user 0.33s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 34.45s real 15.11s user 0.25s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 37.96s real 15.04s user 0.34s system For reference, the CPU tested was: cpu0: Intel Pentium 4 (686-class), 2798.79 MHz, id 0xf25 cpu0: features 0xbfebfbff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR> cpu0: features 0xbfebfbff<PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CFLUSH,DS,ACPI,MMX> cpu0: features 0xbfebfbff<FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,HTT,TM,SBF> cpu0: features2 0x4400<CID,xTPR> cpu0: "Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz" cpu0: I-cache 12K uOp cache 8-way, D-cache 8KB 64B/line 4-way cpu0: L2 cache 512KB 64B/line 8-way cpu0: ITLB 4K/4M: 64 entries cpu0: DTLB 4K/4M: 64 entries cpu0: Initial APIC ID 1 cpu0: Cluster/Package ID 0 cpu0: SMT ID 1 cpu0: family 0f model 02 extfamily 00 extmodel 00 == Linux 2.6 on a Xeon X5650 == Second test, on Linux 2.6.38 on a 6-physical core Xeon (Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5650 @ 2.67GHz).

At any time, my CD player is likely to contain anything from [http://www.enya.com/ Enya], [http://www.endorphin.tv/ Endorphin], Gatecrasher, [http://www.enigma.de/ Enigma], Live, Veruca Salt, Ganggajang, Air (the French band), [http://www.ebtg.com/ Everything But The Girl], the Corrs, Ben Folds Five, Stone Temple Pilots, modern jazz with Marc Moulin, or straight classical (Bach, Ravel, Mozart, Handel, Strauss, Rachmaninov, Vivaldi, Schubert, ...).

I'm almost a B-grade player, but a shoulder injury (rotator-cuff partial tear) has held me back somewhat. I also try to get some cycling in, with the cycleway only a few hundred metres from my unit, there's no excuses. During the summer months I'm more keen to ride, my goal being to ride to work at least a couple of times a week (only 11 km each way). A goal that hasn't been realised. As well as these, I was introduced to skiing at an early age, with my parents both being ski instructors at various times. Although during high school, downhill skiing wasn't quite in the budget, so I enjoyed some cross-country skiing (traditional, not skating). Now, with a good job, I try to get a weeks downhill skiing in each year, with some cross country skiing on the side. Being a member of the [http://www.iacski.com/ Illawarra Alpine Club (IAC)] means I get great accommodation. === Computers === I'm a regular lurker on the [http://www.netbsd.org/MailingLists/ NetBSD], [http://developer.apple.com/darwin/mail.html Darwin] and [http://my.adsm.org/adsm-l.php TSM] (Tivoli Storage Manager) mailing lists, mainly learning and questioning, but responding when there's time. Also, I'm a part time hobbyist programmer in a variety of languages, my current choices being C, Perl, Objective-C, C++ and Java, probably in that order, although as in my [[Résumé]], I've touched a great deal more over the years.

The order of the disk names generally does not cause errors, but it may cause confusion for the user. Run the following '''dsksync''' script to alleviate such confusion. The script renames the hard disks. The order of the disks' names after you reboot the machine will be determined on the order they are detected by the device configuration process. For instance, a disk at the address 00-00-0S-00 will be numbered before a disk at the address 00-00-0S-20 or 00-05-00-00. This document applies to AIX Versions 3.1 through 4.2 on the RS/6000.

Mainly written under [http://www.NetBSD.org NetBSD] and [http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/ Darwin], tested under [[AIX]], [http://www.linux.org/ Linux], [http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/ Solaris] and [http://h30097.www3.hp.com/ Tru64]. From the README: ==== fblckgen ==== '''fblckgen''' generates blocks of data, either a repeating ascii sequence which is very compressible, or a pseudo-random binary sequence, which, although very simple, does not compress. Very handy for benchmarking tape drives, or just making a sized lump of data. By using double buffering and either pthreads or multiple processes, it can generally keep a tape drive busy. Filling an LTO1 tape with pseudo-random data: sh$ fblckgen -rb 64k -c 0 > /dev/nrst1 Write failed: Input/output error 105722740736 bytes written in 7064.506 secs (14614.590 KB/sec) ==== iohammer ==== '''iohammer''' does what it says - very similar to a tool named `rawio' floating out on the 'net. Using multiple threads (either pthreads or multiple processes) '''iohammer''' will issue random I/Os, with a percentage based write ratio to a file or raw device. Good for comparing different disk layouts (RAID5, RAID0, RAID1, RAID0+1, RAID3, etc), stripe unit sizes, and general disk random I/O performance. Very good to see the difference the <tt>queue_depth</tt> parameter makes under [[AIX]]! Testing random read performance on a raw partition: sh$ iohammer -f /dev/vnd0d -c 10k Size 1073741824: 121.097 secs, 10240 IOs, 0 writes 84.6 IOs/sec, 11.83 ms average seek ==== mbdd ==== '''mbdd''' is a threaded version of dd, without all the extras. It maintains a number of buffers, a thread to read from standard input to fill the buffers, a thread to (optionally) write to standard output, and threads for any additional destinations, emptying the buffers. Several reads may be done to fill a buffer entirely. A partial write (not a full buffer length) will abort the copy. Its primary use is as a buffer between bursty, non-threaded programs. One example is its use between <tt>tar</tt>(1) and <tt>bzip2</tt>(1), allowing both utilities to attempt to run without waiting on the other. As a buffer between <tt>tar</tt>(1) and <tt>bzip2</tt>(1), using a total of 20 MiB buffer space: sh$ time tar -cf - . | mbdd -n 320 | bzip2 > /tmp/arc.tar.bz2 807311360 bytes transferred in 374.285 secs (2106.392 KiB/sec) 88694 partial reads, 218.527 average buffers full 374.37s real 311.43s user 18.64s system Compared to without: sh$ time tar -cf - . | bzip2 > /tmp/arc.tar.bz2 556.37s real 307.44s user 11.60s system === Download === [ftp://stix.id.au/pub/unix/iotools-2.2.tgz iotools-2.2.tgz] ''79&nbsp;011 bytes gzipped source tarball via FTP'' === See Also === HTML man pages for [http://stix.id.au/software/fblckgen.html fblckgen(1)], [http://stix.id.au/software/iohammer.html iohammer(1)] and [http://stix.id.au/software/mbdd.html mbdd(1)].

The time zone rule is defined by the exported environment variable <tt>TZ</tt> (usually found in <tt>/etc/environment</tt>), and for Sydney, Australia, we use the value: EST-10EDT,M10.1.0/02:00:00,M4.1.0/03:00:00 The two labels, "EST" and "EDT", are actually arbitrary strings that may have any value. The definition of all the various fields may be found in the [http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/pseries/v5r3/topic/com.ibm.aix.files/doc/aixfiles/environment.htm AIX <tt>environment file</tt> man page]. IBM's packaged versions of Java above 1.2 include a table to map the above labels into a longer (appears to be <tt>zic</tt> style) time zone rule name. For example, Sydney Australia is: Australia/Sydney However, what are the short labels that map to Sydney? "EST" selects American "Eastern Standard Time". In fact, the appropriate rule to map to Sydney is: EET-10EETDT This mapping of the short versions to the longer strings is deprecated, and should not be used. There are two ways to do this properly: # Export the environment variable <tt>TZ=Australia/Sydney</tt> prior to starting the JVM. The disadvantage of this method is that any external process initiated by Java will have this TZ value, and the standard C library will default to GMT. # Set the correct time zone from within Java. This means the existing AIX value of TZ will be unchanged, and continue to work as before.

For dates, this standard recommends the following format: <center>'''YYYY-MM-DD'''</center> This format has a few advantages: # It is unambiguous.

Still needs some perfecting, but was surprisingly good for starters. == Ingredients == * olive oil * butter * 1kg diced beef * 1 brown onion * 8 cloves garlic * tablespoon of tomato paste * paprika (sweet and/or smoked) * 250ml beef stock == Method == Brown diced beef in a frypan in a generous amount of butter and oil. Place aside. Dice onion finely, and cook until clear in a deep pot on the stove top. Dice/crush garlic, and add to onion. Stir in beef stock, tomato paste and a generous quantity of paprika (I added 3 or so tablespoons, 2 sweet paprika, 1 smoked). Add one cup of water, and bring to the boil. Add steak, and place covered pot in oven for 2 hours at 160&deg;C. Check and stir every 30 minutes. Add more water if the mixture tends to dry out; ideally <sup>1</sup>&frasl;<sub>2</sub> to <sup>2</sup>&frasl;<sub>3</sub> of the steak should remain covered.

It's what you know for sure that just ain't so.<br> -- Mark Twain ---- Force plays a much larger part in the government of the world than it did before 1914, and what is especially alarming, force tends increasingly to fall into the hands of those who are enemies of civilization. The danger is profound and terrible; it cannot be waved aside with easy optimism. '''The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt'''. Even those of the intelligent who believe that they have a nostrum are too individualistic to combine with other intelligent men from whom they differ on minor points. This was not always the case.<br> -- "The Triumph of Stupidity" (1933-05-10) in Mortals and Others: Bertrand Russell's American Essays, 1931-1935 (Routledge, 1998, ISBN 0-415-17866-5), p. 28 ---- It has often and confidently been asserted, that man's origin can never be known: '''but ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge''': it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science.<br> -- "The Descent of Man" (1871), Charles Darwin, Introduction, p. 4. ---- Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.<br> -- Albert Einstein ---- Science literacy is a vaccine against the charlatans of the world that would exploit your ignorance.<br> -- Neil deGrasse Tyson ---- Some people have a mental horizon of radius zero, and call it their point of view.<br> -- David Hilbert ---- The more complex the mind, the greater the need for the simplicity of play.<br> -- Captain Kirk, "Shore Leave" ---- When you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to reform.<br> -- Mark Twain ---- Is this *idiocy*?

It isn't her's. It isn't our's either. It's ours, and likewise it's theirs and yours. ---- SOCIOLOGY: For sheer lack of intelligibility, sociology is far and away the number one subject. I sat through hundreds of hours of sociology courses, and read gobs of sociology writing, and I never once heard or read a coherent statement. This is because sociologists want to be considered scientists, so they spend most of their time translating simple, obvious observations into scientific-sounding code. If you plan to major in sociology, you'll have to learn to do the same thing. For example, suppose you have observed that children cry when they fall down. You should write: "Methodological observation of the sociometrical behavior tendencies of prematurated isolates indicates that a causal relationship exists between groundward tropism and lachrimatory behavior forms." If you can keep this up for 50 or 60 pages, you will get a large government grant. ---- If I were a blue spider, I would certainly ride on a train all the way from Avallon to Paris, and I would set up my house on the nose of a chocolate penguin.

Medicine.<br> -- Tim Minchin, "Storm" ---- Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people.<br> -- Often attributed to Eleanor Roosevelt, but disputed. Around since 1948. ---- All great truths begin as blasphemies.<br> -- George Bernard Shaw, Annajanska (1919) ---- Every act of creation is first an act of destruction.<br> -- Pablo Picasso (paraphrased?) ---- One of the painful things about our time is that those who feel certainty are stupid, and those with any imagination and understanding are filled with doubt and indecision.<br> -- Bertrand Russell (paraphrased?) ---- If a man will begin with certainties, he shall end in doubts; but if he will be content to begin with doubts he shall end in certainties.<br> -- Francis Bacon (1561 – 1626) ---- It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so.<br> -- Mark Twain ---- If you're going to be passionate about something, be passionate about learning. If you're going to fight something, fight for those in need. If you're going to question something, question authority. If you're going to lose something, lose your inhibitions. If you're going to gain something, gain respect and confidence. And if you're going to hate something, hate the false idea that you are not capable of your dreams.<br> -- Daniel Golston ---- Tomorrow's illiterate will not be the man who can't read; he will be the man who has not learned how to learn.<br> -- Psychologist Herbert Gerjuoy as quoted by Alvin Toffler in Future Shock (1970), ch. 18. ---- Force plays a much larger part in the government of the world than it did before 1914, and what is especially alarming, force tends increasingly to fall into the hands of those who are enemies of civilization. The danger is profound and terrible; it cannot be waved aside with easy optimism. '''The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt'''. Even those of the intelligent who believe that they have a nostrum are too individualistic to combine with other intelligent men from whom they differ on minor points. This was not always the case.<br> -- "The Triumph of Stupidity" (1933-05-10) in Mortals and Others: Bertrand Russell's American Essays, 1931-1935 (Routledge, 1998, ISBN 0-415-17866-5), p. 28 ---- It has often and confidently been asserted, that man's origin can never be known: '''but ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge''': it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science.<br> -- "The Descent of Man" (1871), Charles Darwin, Introduction, p. 4. ---- Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.<br> -- Albert Einstein ---- Science literacy is a vaccine against the charlatans of the world that would exploit your ignorance.<br> -- Neil deGrasse Tyson ---- Some people have a mental horizon of radius zero, and call it their point of view.<br> -- David Hilbert ---- The more complex the mind, the greater the need for the simplicity of play.<br> -- Captain Kirk, "Shore Leave" ---- When you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to reform.<br> -- Mark Twain ---- Is this *idiocy*? Or something so brilliant that it just *looks* stupid?<br> -- Gary Kasparov ---- Simplicity does not precede complexity, but follows it.<br> -- Alan J. Perlis ---- People who think they know everything really annoy those of us who know we don't.<br> -- Bjarne Stroustrup ---- A sense of humor is a measurement of the extent to which we realize that we are trapped in a world almost totally devoid of reason. Laughter is how we express the anxiety we feel at this knowledge.<br> -- Dave Barry ---- I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.<br> -- Douglas Adams ---- It's is not, it isn't ain't, and it's it's, not its, if you mean it is. If you don't, it's its. Then too, it's hers. It isn't her's. It isn't our's either. It's ours, and likewise it's theirs and yours. ---- SOCIOLOGY: For sheer lack of intelligibility, sociology is far and away the number one subject. I sat through hundreds of hours of sociology courses, and read gobs of sociology writing, and I never once heard or read a coherent statement. This is because sociologists want to be considered scientists, so they spend most of their time translating simple, obvious observations into scientific-sounding code. If you plan to major in sociology, you'll have to learn to do the same thing. For example, suppose you have observed that children cry when they fall down. You should write: "Methodological observation of the sociometrical behavior tendencies of prematurated isolates indicates that a causal relationship exists between groundward tropism and lachrimatory behavior forms." If you can keep this up for 50 or 60 pages, you will get a large government grant. ---- If I were a blue spider, I would certainly ride on a train all the way from Avallon to Paris, and I would set up my house on the nose of a chocolate penguin. It's just a matter of common sense."<br> --James Wright, "Against Surrealism" ---- We now return our souls to the creator,<br> As we stand on the edge of eternal darkness.<br> Let our chant fill the void,<br> In order that others may know.<br> In the land of the night,<br> The ship of the sun is drawn by the grateful dead.<br> --Egyptian Book of the Dead ---- It is better wither to be silent,<br> :or to say things of more value than silence.<br> Sooner throw a pearl at hazard than an idle or useless word;<br> :and do not say a little in many words,<br> :but a great deal in a few.<br> -- Pythagoras ---- "Always ... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better. And twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad. And too much is never enough except when it's just about right."<br> -- The Tick ---- UFO's are for real: the Air Force doesn't exist. ---- "In the drowsy dark cave of the mind dreams<br> build their nest with fragments dropped from day's caravan."<br> -- Rabindranath Tagore ---- I have made this letter longer than usual because I lack the time to make it shorter.<br> -- Blaise Pascal ---- WARNING: Suffering attention deficit disorder and I'm not afraid to spread it. Now stand back or I'll.. mmm cheesecake<br> -- Homer Simpson ---- Support mental health or I'll kill you. ---- "I went into a general store, and they wouldn't sell me anything specific".<br> -- Steven Wright ---- Reality is what, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. ---- Reality is a crutch for people who can't cope with drugs.<br> -- Lily Tomlin ---- Failure is not an option.

Really great Antec case and PSU. Usually runs the latest NetBSD release. Took over from zion running public ftp, http, smtp server. == zion == 2.8 GHz Pentium IV HT, 1 GiB RAM, Asus P4P800-E Deluxe motherboard. [http://www.antec.com/us/productDetails.php?ProdID=81046 Antec Performance II SX1040BII] case - ''best case I've ever worked with''. 4 x 2 TiB WDC WD20EARX disks, two already dead, in a pair of RAID1's. Running NetBSD-5.1-RC4 x86 + MP kernel. Runs as a public ftp and http server. And runs internally as a MySQL server, PostgreSQL server, NFS server, NetBoot server, Squid cache, Samba server, Netatalk server, Wireless LAN router, NetBSD build box and backup server. Probably other stuff, too. This system also runs as my internet firewall, with ADSL2 PPPoE link currently from [http://www.exetel.com.au Exetel] via a Billion modem, and DNS A records (stix.id.au, stix.homeunix.net) from [http://www.dyndns.org/ DynDNS.org]. For the curious, here's this systems last [http://stix.id.au/about/dmesg-zion.txt dmesg] (bootlog) and some [http://stix.id.au/cgi-bin/firewall.pl firewall statistics]. == marvin == Little Dell Dimension C521, with AMD Athlon 64 dual-core 3800 (2 GHz), only 512 MiB RAM, and built in NVIDIA GeForce 6150 LE (unfortunately with no mode switching support in the 'nv' driver in xorg or XFree86). Usually running the latest NetBSD amd64 release, but mainly runs Windows XP when I have to. Came installed with Vista (yuck!). Old box was a 900 MHz Athlon, 1 GiB RAM, 1 x 20 GiB Seagate ST320423A disk for NetBSD and xen, 1 x 17 GiB Seagate ST317221A disk. After a power glitch that fried the motherboard, disk, CD drive, PCI sound card, PCI SCSI card and even a USB mouse (yes, the magic blue smoke escaped!), all but the case, fans and RAM is scrapped. == eniac == DEC Alpha Multia AXPpci233 233 MHz, 32 MiB RAM, 500 MiB SCSI disk. Runs NetBSD-3.0 alpha netbooted or OpenVMS 7.2 on local disk. Unfortunately, something is fried in the poor thing, it no longer powers on. == orac == Sun SPARCserver 5, MB86904 110 MHz CPU, 64 MiB RAM, bunch of old SCSI disks (unplugged, too noisy!), running NetBSD-4.99.xx, netbooted off zion. == kitt == Apple Macintosh Quadra 605, 25 MHz 68040, 20 MiB RAM, Quantum Fireball 1080S 1 GiB SCSI disk, running NetBSD 4.99.xx. Yes, a 1993 vintage system running the latest and greatest NetBSD release, and running it quite well. == pbg3 == Apple Powerbook G3 'Wallstreet', 300 MHz PowerPC G3 (PowerPC 750), 320 MiB RAM, 8 GiB disk. Ran Mac OS X 10.2.8, until the disk finally gave out after sounding really bad for a year or more.

Mainly written under [http://www.NetBSD.org NetBSD] and [http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/ Darwin], tested under [[AIX]], [http://www.linux.org/ Linux], [http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/ Solaris] and [http://h30097.www3.hp.com/ Tru64]. From the README: ==== fblckgen ==== '''fblckgen''' generates blocks of data, either a repeating ascii sequence which is very compressible, or a pseudo-random binary sequence, which, although very simple, does not compress. Very handy for benchmarking tape drives, or just making a sized lump of data. By using double buffering and either pthreads or multiple processes, it can generally keep a tape drive busy.

Using multiple threads (either pthreads or multiple processes) '''iohammer''' will issue random I/Os, with a percentage based write ratio to a file or raw device. Good for comparing different disk layouts (RAID5, RAID0, RAID1, RAID0+1, RAID3, etc), stripe unit sizes, and general disk random I/O performance.

It maintains a number of buffers, a thread to read from standard input to fill the buffers, a thread to (optionally) write to standard output, and threads for any additional destinations, emptying the buffers. Several reads may be done to fill a buffer entirely. A partial write (not a full buffer length) will abort the copy. Its primary use is as a buffer between bursty, non-threaded programs.

Since HTTP/1.0 did not define any 1xx status codes, servers MUST NOT send a 1xx response to an HTTP/1.0 client except under experimental conditions. === 100 Continue === The client may continue with its request. This interim response is used to inform the client that the initial part of the request has been received and has not yet been rejected by the server. The client SHOULD continue by sending the remainder of the request or, if the request has already been completed, ignore this response. The server MUST send a final response after the request has been completed. === 101 Switching Protocols === The server understands and is willing to comply with the client's request, via the Upgrade message header field (section 14.41), for a change in the application protocol being used on this connection. The server will switch protocols to those defined by the response's Upgrade header field immediately after the empty line which terminates the 101 response. The protocol should only be switched when it is advantageous to do so. For example, switching to a newer version of HTTP is advantageous over older versions, and switching to a real-time, synchronous protocol may be advantageous when delivering resources that use such features. == 2xx Successful == This class of status code indicates that the client's request was successfully received, understood, and accepted. === 200 OK === The request has succeeded. The information returned with the response is dependent on the method used in the request, for example: ; GET : an entity corresponding to the requested resource is sent in the response; ; HEAD : the entity-header fields corresponding to the requested resource are sent in the response without any message-body; ; POST : an entity describing or containing the result of the action; ; TRACE : an entity containing the request message as received by the end server. === 201 Created === The request has been fulfilled and resulted in a new resource being created. The newly created resource can be referenced by the URI(s) returned in the entity of the response, with the most specific URL for the resource given by a Location header field. The origin server MUST create the resource before returning the 201 status code. If the action cannot be carried out immediately, the server should respond with 202 (Accepted) response instead. === 202 Accepted === The request has been accepted for processing, but the processing has not been completed. The request MAY or MAY NOT eventually be acted upon, as it MAY be disallowed when processing actually takes place. There is no facility for re-sending a status code from an asynchronous operation such as this. The 202 response is intentionally non-committal. Its purpose is to allow a server to accept a request for some other process (perhaps a batch-oriented process that is only run once per day) without requiring that the user agent's connection to the server persist until the process is completed. The entity returned with this response SHOULD include an indication of the request's current status and either a pointer to a status monitor or some estimate of when the user can expect the request to be fulfilled. === 203 Non-Authoritative Information === The returned metainformation in the entity-header is not the definitive set as available from the origin server, but is gathered from a local or a third-party copy. The set presented MAY be a subset or superset of the original version. For example, including local annotation information about the resource MAY result in a superset of the metainformation known by the origin server. Use of this response code is not required and is only appropriate when the response would otherwise be 200 (OK). === 204 No Content === The server has fulfilled the request but there is no new information to send back. If the client is a user agent, it SHOULD NOT change its document view from that which caused the request to be sent. This response is primarily intended to allow input for actions to take place without causing a change to the user agent's active document view. The response MAY include new metainformation in the form of entity-headers, which SHOULD apply to the document currently in the user agent's active view. The 204 response MUST NOT include a message-body, and thus is always terminated by the first empty line after the header fields. === 205 Reset Content === The server has fulfilled the request and the user agent SHOULD reset the document view which caused the request to be sent. This response is primarily intended to allow input for actions to take place via user input, followed by a clearing of the form in which the input is given so that the user can easily initiate another input action. The response MUST NOT include an entity. === 206 Partial Content === The server has fulfilled the partial GET request for the resource. The request must have included a Range header field (section 14.36) indicating the desired range. The response MUST include either a Content-Range header field (section 14.17) indicating the range included with this response, or a multipart/byteranges Content-Type including Content-Range fields for each part. If multipart/byteranges is not used, the Content-Length header field in the response MUST match the actual number of OCTETs transmitted in the message-body. A cache that does not support the Range and Content-Range headers MUST NOT cache 206 (Partial) responses. == 3xx Redirection == This class of status code indicates that further action needs to be taken by the user agent in order to fulfill the request. The action required MAY be carried out by the user agent without interaction with the user if and only if the method used in the second request is GET or HEAD. A user agent SHOULD NOT automatically redirect a request more than 5 times, since such redirections usually indicate an infinite loop. === 300 Multiple Choices === The requested resource corresponds to any one of a set of representations, each with its own specific location, and agent- driven negotiation information (section 12) is being provided so that the user (or user agent) can select a preferred representation and redirect its request to that location. Unless it was a HEAD request, the response SHOULD include an entity containing a list of resource characteristics and location(s) from which the user or user agent can choose the one most appropriate. The entity format is specified by the media type given in the Content- Type header field. Depending upon the format and the capabilities of the user agent, selection of the most appropriate choice may be performed automatically. However, this specification does not define any standard for such automatic selection. If the server has a preferred choice of representation, it SHOULD include the specific URL for that representation in the Location field; user agents MAY use the Location field value for automatic redirection. This response is cachable unless indicated otherwise. === 301 Moved Permanently === The requested resource has been assigned a new permanent URI and any future references to this resource SHOULD be done using one of the returned URIs. Clients with link editing capabilities SHOULD automatically re-link references to the Request-URI to one or more of the new references returned by the server, where possible. This response is cachable unless indicated otherwise. If the new URI is a location, its URL SHOULD be given by the Location field in the response. Unless the request method was HEAD, the entity of the response SHOULD contain a short hypertext note with a hyperlink to the new URI(s). If the 301 status code is received in response to a request other than GET or HEAD, the user agent MUST NOT automatically redirect the request unless it can be confirmed by the user, since this might change the conditions under which the request was issued. '''Note:''' When automatically redirecting a POST request after receiving a 301 status code, some existing HTTP/1.0 user agents will erroneously change it into a GET request. === 302 Moved Temporarily === The requested resource resides temporarily under a different URI. Since the redirection may be altered on occasion, the client SHOULD continue to use the Request-URI for future requests. This response is only cachable if indicated by a Cache-Control or Expires header field. If the new URI is a location, its URL SHOULD be given by the Location field in the response. Unless the request method was HEAD, the entity of the response SHOULD contain a short hypertext note with a hyperlink to the new URI(s). If the 302 status code is received in response to a request other than GET or HEAD, the user agent MUST NOT automatically redirect the request unless it can be confirmed by the user, since this might change the conditions under which the request was issued. '''Note:''' When automatically redirecting a POST request after receiving a 302 status code, some existing HTTP/1.0 user agents will erroneously change it into a GET request. === 303 See Other === The response to the request can be found under a different URI and SHOULD be retrieved using a GET method on that resource. This method exists primarily to allow the output of a POST-activated script to redirect the user agent to a selected resource. The new URI is not a substitute reference for the originally requested resource. The 303 response is not cachable, but the response to the second (redirected) request MAY be cachable. If the new URI is a location, its URL SHOULD be given by the Location field in the response. Unless the request method was HEAD, the entity of the response SHOULD contain a short hypertext note with a hyperlink to the new URI(s). === 304 Not Modified === If the client has performed a conditional GET request and access is allowed, but the document has not been modified, the server SHOULD respond with this status code. The response MUST NOT contain a message-body. The response MUST include the following header fields: * Date * ETag and/or Content-Location, if the header would have been sent in a 200 response to the same request * Expires, Cache-Control, and/or Vary, if the field-value might differ from that sent in any previous response for the same variant If the conditional GET used a strong cache validator (see section 13.3.3), the response SHOULD NOT include other entity-headers. Otherwise (i.e., the conditional GET used a weak validator), the response MUST NOT include other entity-headers; this prevents inconsistencies between cached entity-bodies and updated headers. If a 304 response indicates an entity not currently cached, then the cache MUST disregard the response and repeat the request without the conditional. If a cache uses a received 304 response to update a cache entry, the cache MUST update the entry to reflect any new field values given in the response. The 304 response MUST NOT include a message-body, and thus is always terminated by the first empty line after the header fields. === 305 Use Proxy === The requested resource MUST be accessed through the proxy given by the Location field. The Location field gives the URL of the proxy. The recipient is expected to repeat the request via the proxy. == 4xx Client Error == The 4xx class of status code is intended for cases in which the client seems to have erred. Except when responding to a HEAD request, the server SHOULD include an entity containing an explanation of the error situation, and whether it is a temporary or permanent condition. These status codes are applicable to any request method. User agents SHOULD display any included entity to the user. '''Note:''' If the client is sending data, a server implementation using TCP should be careful to ensure that the client acknowledges receipt of the packet(s) containing the response, before the server closes the input connection. If the client continues sending data to the server after the close, the server's TCP stack will send a reset packet to the client, which may erase the client's unacknowledged input buffers before they can be read and interpreted by the HTTP application. === 400 Bad Request === The request could not be understood by the server due to malformed syntax. The client SHOULD NOT repeat the request without modifications. === 401 Unauthorized === The request requires user authentication. The response MUST include a WWW-Authenticate header field (section 14.46) containing a challenge applicable to the requested resource. The client MAY repeat the request with a suitable Authorization header field (section 14.8). If the request already included Authorization credentials, then the 401 response indicates that authorization has been refused for those credentials. If the 401 response contains the same challenge as the prior response, and the user agent has already attempted authentication at least once, then the user SHOULD be presented the entity that was given in the response, since that entity MAY include relevant diagnostic information. HTTP access authentication is explained in section 11. === 402 Payment Required === This code is reserved for future use. === 403 Forbidden === The server understood the request, but is refusing to fulfill it. Authorization will not help and the request SHOULD NOT be repeated. If the request method was not HEAD and the server wishes to make public why the request has not been fulfilled, it SHOULD describe the reason for the refusal in the entity. This status code is commonly used when the server does not wish to reveal exactly why the request has been refused, or when no other response is applicable. === 404 Not Found === The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI. No indication is given of whether the condition is temporary or permanent. If the server does not wish to make this information available to the client, the status code 403 (Forbidden) can be used instead. The 410 (Gone) status code SHOULD be used if the server knows, through some internally configurable mechanism, that an old resource is permanently unavailable and has no forwarding address. === 405 Method Not Allowed === The method specified in the Request-Line is not allowed for the resource identified by the Request-URI. The response MUST include an Allow header containing a list of valid methods for the requested resource. === 406 Not Acceptable === The resource identified by the request is only capable of generating response entities which have content characteristics not acceptable according to the accept headers sent in the request. Unless it was a HEAD request, the response SHOULD include an entity containing a list of available entity characteristics and location(s) from which the user or user agent can choose the one most appropriate. The entity format is specified by the media type given in the Content-Type header field. Depending upon the format and the capabilities of the user agent, selection of the most appropriate choice may be performed automatically. However, this specification does not define any standard for such automatic selection. '''Note:''' HTTP/1.1 servers are allowed to return responses which are not acceptable according to the accept headers sent in the request. In some cases, this may even be preferable to sending a 406 response. User agents are encouraged to inspect the headers of an incoming response to determine if it is acceptable. If the response could be unacceptable, a user agent SHOULD temporarily stop receipt of more data and query the user for a decision on further actions. === 407 Proxy Authentication Required === This code is similar to 401 (Unauthorized), but indicates that the client MUST first authenticate itself with the proxy. The proxy MUST return a Proxy-Authenticate header field (section 14.33) containing a challenge applicable to the proxy for the requested resource. The client MAY repeat the request with a suitable Proxy-Authorization header field (section 14.34). HTTP access authentication is explained in section 11. === 408 Request Timeout === The client did not produce a request within the time that the server was prepared to wait. The client MAY repeat the request without modifications at any later time. === 409 Conflict === The request could not be completed due to a conflict with the current state of the resource. This code is only allowed in situations where it is expected that the user might be able to resolve the conflict and resubmit the request. The response body SHOULD include enough information for the user to recognize the source of the conflict. Ideally, the response entity would include enough information for the user or user agent to fix the problem; however, that may not be possible and is not required. Conflicts are most likely to occur in response to a PUT request. If versioning is being used and the entity being PUT includes changes to a resource which conflict with those made by an earlier (third-party) request, the server MAY use the 409 response to indicate that it can't complete the request. In this case, the response entity SHOULD contain a list of the differences between the two versions in a format defined by the response Content-Type. === 410 Gone === The requested resource is no longer available at the server and no forwarding address is known. This condition SHOULD be considered permanent. Clients with link editing capabilities SHOULD delete references to the Request-URI after user approval. If the server does not know, or has no facility to determine, whether or not the condition is permanent, the status code 404 (Not Found) SHOULD be used instead. This response is cachable unless indicated otherwise. The 410 response is primarily intended to assist the task of web maintenance by notifying the recipient that the resource is intentionally unavailable and that the server owners desire that remote links to that resource be removed. Such an event is common for limited-time, promotional services and for resources belonging to individuals no longer working at the server's site. It is not necessary to mark all permanently unavailable resources as "gone" or to keep the mark for any length of time -- that is left to the discretion of the server owner. === 411 Length Required === The server refuses to accept the request without a defined Content-Length. The client MAY repeat the request if it adds a valid Content-Length header field containing the length of the message-body in the request message. === 412 Precondition Failed === The precondition given in one or more of the request-header fields evaluated to false when it was tested on the server. This response code allows the client to place preconditions on the current resource metainformation (header field data) and thus prevent the requested method from being applied to a resource other than the one intended. === 413 Request Entity Too Large === The server is refusing to process a request because the request entity is larger than the server is willing or able to process. The server may close the connection to prevent the client from continuing the request. If the condition is temporary, the server SHOULD include a Retry- After header field to indicate that it is temporary and after what time the client may try again. === 414 Request-URI Too Long === The server is refusing to service the request because the Request-URI is longer than the server is willing to interpret. This rare condition is only likely to occur when a client has improperly converted a POST request to a GET request with long query information, when the client has descended into a URL "black hole" of redirection (e.g., a redirected URL prefix that points to a suffix of itself), or when the server is under attack by a client attempting to exploit security holes present in some servers using fixed-length buffers for reading or manipulating the Request-URI. === 415 Unsupported Media Type === The server is refusing to service the request because the entity of the request is in a format not supported by the requested resource for the requested method. == 5xx Server Error == Response status codes beginning with the digit "5" indicate cases in which the server is aware that it has erred or is incapable of performing the request. Except when responding to a HEAD request, the server SHOULD include an entity containing an explanation of the error situation, and whether it is a temporary or permanent condition. User agents SHOULD display any included entity to the user. These response codes are applicable to any request method. === 500 Internal Server Error === The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request. === 501 Not Implemented === The server does not support the functionality required to fulfill the request. This is the appropriate response when the server does not recognize the request method and is not capable of supporting it for any resource. === 502 Bad Gateway === The server, while acting as a gateway or proxy, received an invalid response from the upstream server it accessed in attempting to fulfill the request. === 503 Service Unavailable === The server is currently unable to handle the request due to a temporary overloading or maintenance of the server. The implication is that this is a temporary condition which will be alleviated after some delay. If known, the length of the delay may be indicated in a Retry-After header. If no Retry-After is given, the client SHOULD handle the response as it would for a 500 response. '''Note:''' The existence of the 503 status code does not imply that a server must use it when becoming overloaded. Some servers may wish to simply refuse the connection. === 504 Gateway Timeout === The server, while acting as a gateway or proxy, did not receive a timely response from the upstream server it accessed in attempting to complete the request. === 505 HTTP Version Not Supported === The server does not support, or refuses to support, the HTTP protocol version that was used in the request message. The server is indicating that it is unable or unwilling to complete the request using the same major version as the client, as described in section 3.1, other than with this error message. The response SHOULD contain an entity describing why that version is not supported and what other protocols are supported by that server. == See Also == * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes List of HTTP status codes] at wikipedia. [[Category:Web Management]] 666f51a00fd6681f65b8b1988b3e057fc8e67721 3204 3203 2014-05-06T12:26:56Z Stix 2 /* See Also */ Fix wikipedia link. wikitext text/x-wiki Summary of http 1.1 response codes taken from RFC 2068. == 1xx Informational == This class of status code indicates a provisional response, consisting only of the Status-Line and optional headers, and is terminated by an empty line. Since HTTP/1.0 did not define any 1xx status codes, servers MUST NOT send a 1xx response to an HTTP/1.0 client except under experimental conditions. === 100 Continue === The client may continue with its request. This interim response is used to inform the client that the initial part of the request has been received and has not yet been rejected by the server. The client SHOULD continue by sending the remainder of the request or, if the request has already been completed, ignore this response. The server MUST send a final response after the request has been completed. === 101 Switching Protocols === The server understands and is willing to comply with the client's request, via the Upgrade message header field (section 14.41), for a change in the application protocol being used on this connection. The server will switch protocols to those defined by the response's Upgrade header field immediately after the empty line which terminates the 101 response. The protocol should only be switched when it is advantageous to do so. For example, switching to a newer version of HTTP is advantageous over older versions, and switching to a real-time, synchronous protocol may be advantageous when delivering resources that use such features. == 2xx Successful == This class of status code indicates that the client's request was successfully received, understood, and accepted. === 200 OK === The request has succeeded. The information returned with the response is dependent on the method used in the request, for example: ; GET : an entity corresponding to the requested resource is sent in the response; ; HEAD : the entity-header fields corresponding to the requested resource are sent in the response without any message-body; ; POST : an entity describing or containing the result of the action; ; TRACE : an entity containing the request message as received by the end server. === 201 Created === The request has been fulfilled and resulted in a new resource being created. The newly created resource can be referenced by the URI(s) returned in the entity of the response, with the most specific URL for the resource given by a Location header field. The origin server MUST create the resource before returning the 201 status code. If the action cannot be carried out immediately, the server should respond with 202 (Accepted) response instead. === 202 Accepted === The request has been accepted for processing, but the processing has not been completed. The request MAY or MAY NOT eventually be acted upon, as it MAY be disallowed when processing actually takes place. There is no facility for re-sending a status code from an asynchronous operation such as this. The 202 response is intentionally non-committal. Its purpose is to allow a server to accept a request for some other process (perhaps a batch-oriented process that is only run once per day) without requiring that the user agent's connection to the server persist until the process is completed. The entity returned with this response SHOULD include an indication of the request's current status and either a pointer to a status monitor or some estimate of when the user can expect the request to be fulfilled. === 203 Non-Authoritative Information === The returned metainformation in the entity-header is not the definitive set as available from the origin server, but is gathered from a local or a third-party copy. The set presented MAY be a subset or superset of the original version. For example, including local annotation information about the resource MAY result in a superset of the metainformation known by the origin server. Use of this response code is not required and is only appropriate when the response would otherwise be 200 (OK). === 204 No Content === The server has fulfilled the request but there is no new information to send back. If the client is a user agent, it SHOULD NOT change its document view from that which caused the request to be sent. This response is primarily intended to allow input for actions to take place without causing a change to the user agent's active document view. The response MAY include new metainformation in the form of entity-headers, which SHOULD apply to the document currently in the user agent's active view. The 204 response MUST NOT include a message-body, and thus is always terminated by the first empty line after the header fields. === 205 Reset Content === The server has fulfilled the request and the user agent SHOULD reset the document view which caused the request to be sent. This response is primarily intended to allow input for actions to take place via user input, followed by a clearing of the form in which the input is given so that the user can easily initiate another input action. The response MUST NOT include an entity. === 206 Partial Content === The server has fulfilled the partial GET request for the resource. The request must have included a Range header field (section 14.36) indicating the desired range. The response MUST include either a Content-Range header field (section 14.17) indicating the range included with this response, or a multipart/byteranges Content-Type including Content-Range fields for each part. If multipart/byteranges is not used, the Content-Length header field in the response MUST match the actual number of OCTETs transmitted in the message-body. A cache that does not support the Range and Content-Range headers MUST NOT cache 206 (Partial) responses. == 3xx Redirection == This class of status code indicates that further action needs to be taken by the user agent in order to fulfill the request. The action required MAY be carried out by the user agent without interaction with the user if and only if the method used in the second request is GET or HEAD. A user agent SHOULD NOT automatically redirect a request more than 5 times, since such redirections usually indicate an infinite loop. === 300 Multiple Choices === The requested resource corresponds to any one of a set of representations, each with its own specific location, and agent- driven negotiation information (section 12) is being provided so that the user (or user agent) can select a preferred representation and redirect its request to that location. Unless it was a HEAD request, the response SHOULD include an entity containing a list of resource characteristics and location(s) from which the user or user agent can choose the one most appropriate. The entity format is specified by the media type given in the Content- Type header field. Depending upon the format and the capabilities of the user agent, selection of the most appropriate choice may be performed automatically. However, this specification does not define any standard for such automatic selection. If the server has a preferred choice of representation, it SHOULD include the specific URL for that representation in the Location field; user agents MAY use the Location field value for automatic redirection. This response is cachable unless indicated otherwise. === 301 Moved Permanently === The requested resource has been assigned a new permanent URI and any future references to this resource SHOULD be done using one of the returned URIs. Clients with link editing capabilities SHOULD automatically re-link references to the Request-URI to one or more of the new references returned by the server, where possible. This response is cachable unless indicated otherwise. If the new URI is a location, its URL SHOULD be given by the Location field in the response. Unless the request method was HEAD, the entity of the response SHOULD contain a short hypertext note with a hyperlink to the new URI(s). If the 301 status code is received in response to a request other than GET or HEAD, the user agent MUST NOT automatically redirect the request unless it can be confirmed by the user, since this might change the conditions under which the request was issued. '''Note:''' When automatically redirecting a POST request after receiving a 301 status code, some existing HTTP/1.0 user agents will erroneously change it into a GET request. === 302 Moved Temporarily === The requested resource resides temporarily under a different URI. Since the redirection may be altered on occasion, the client SHOULD continue to use the Request-URI for future requests. This response is only cachable if indicated by a Cache-Control or Expires header field. If the new URI is a location, its URL SHOULD be given by the Location field in the response. Unless the request method was HEAD, the entity of the response SHOULD contain a short hypertext note with a hyperlink to the new URI(s). If the 302 status code is received in response to a request other than GET or HEAD, the user agent MUST NOT automatically redirect the request unless it can be confirmed by the user, since this might change the conditions under which the request was issued. '''Note:''' When automatically redirecting a POST request after receiving a 302 status code, some existing HTTP/1.0 user agents will erroneously change it into a GET request. === 303 See Other === The response to the request can be found under a different URI and SHOULD be retrieved using a GET method on that resource. This method exists primarily to allow the output of a POST-activated script to redirect the user agent to a selected resource. The new URI is not a substitute reference for the originally requested resource. The 303 response is not cachable, but the response to the second (redirected) request MAY be cachable. If the new URI is a location, its URL SHOULD be given by the Location field in the response. Unless the request method was HEAD, the entity of the response SHOULD contain a short hypertext note with a hyperlink to the new URI(s). === 304 Not Modified === If the client has performed a conditional GET request and access is allowed, but the document has not been modified, the server SHOULD respond with this status code. The response MUST NOT contain a message-body. The response MUST include the following header fields: * Date * ETag and/or Content-Location, if the header would have been sent in a 200 response to the same request * Expires, Cache-Control, and/or Vary, if the field-value might differ from that sent in any previous response for the same variant If the conditional GET used a strong cache validator (see section 13.3.3), the response SHOULD NOT include other entity-headers. Otherwise (i.e., the conditional GET used a weak validator), the response MUST NOT include other entity-headers; this prevents inconsistencies between cached entity-bodies and updated headers. If a 304 response indicates an entity not currently cached, then the cache MUST disregard the response and repeat the request without the conditional. If a cache uses a received 304 response to update a cache entry, the cache MUST update the entry to reflect any new field values given in the response. The 304 response MUST NOT include a message-body, and thus is always terminated by the first empty line after the header fields. === 305 Use Proxy === The requested resource MUST be accessed through the proxy given by the Location field. The Location field gives the URL of the proxy. The recipient is expected to repeat the request via the proxy. == 4xx Client Error == The 4xx class of status code is intended for cases in which the client seems to have erred. Except when responding to a HEAD request, the server SHOULD include an entity containing an explanation of the error situation, and whether it is a temporary or permanent condition. These status codes are applicable to any request method. User agents SHOULD display any included entity to the user. '''Note:''' If the client is sending data, a server implementation using TCP should be careful to ensure that the client acknowledges receipt of the packet(s) containing the response, before the server closes the input connection. If the client continues sending data to the server after the close, the server's TCP stack will send a reset packet to the client, which may erase the client's unacknowledged input buffers before they can be read and interpreted by the HTTP application. === 400 Bad Request === The request could not be understood by the server due to malformed syntax. The client SHOULD NOT repeat the request without modifications. === 401 Unauthorized === The request requires user authentication. The response MUST include a WWW-Authenticate header field (section 14.46) containing a challenge applicable to the requested resource. The client MAY repeat the request with a suitable Authorization header field (section 14.8). If the request already included Authorization credentials, then the 401 response indicates that authorization has been refused for those credentials. If the 401 response contains the same challenge as the prior response, and the user agent has already attempted authentication at least once, then the user SHOULD be presented the entity that was given in the response, since that entity MAY include relevant diagnostic information. HTTP access authentication is explained in section 11. === 402 Payment Required === This code is reserved for future use. === 403 Forbidden === The server understood the request, but is refusing to fulfill it. Authorization will not help and the request SHOULD NOT be repeated. If the request method was not HEAD and the server wishes to make public why the request has not been fulfilled, it SHOULD describe the reason for the refusal in the entity. This status code is commonly used when the server does not wish to reveal exactly why the request has been refused, or when no other response is applicable. === 404 Not Found === The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI. No indication is given of whether the condition is temporary or permanent. If the server does not wish to make this information available to the client, the status code 403 (Forbidden) can be used instead. The 410 (Gone) status code SHOULD be used if the server knows, through some internally configurable mechanism, that an old resource is permanently unavailable and has no forwarding address. === 405 Method Not Allowed === The method specified in the Request-Line is not allowed for the resource identified by the Request-URI. The response MUST include an Allow header containing a list of valid methods for the requested resource. === 406 Not Acceptable === The resource identified by the request is only capable of generating response entities which have content characteristics not acceptable according to the accept headers sent in the request. Unless it was a HEAD request, the response SHOULD include an entity containing a list of available entity characteristics and location(s) from which the user or user agent can choose the one most appropriate. The entity format is specified by the media type given in the Content-Type header field. Depending upon the format and the capabilities of the user agent, selection of the most appropriate choice may be performed automatically. However, this specification does not define any standard for such automatic selection. '''Note:''' HTTP/1.1 servers are allowed to return responses which are not acceptable according to the accept headers sent in the request. In some cases, this may even be preferable to sending a 406 response. User agents are encouraged to inspect the headers of an incoming response to determine if it is acceptable. If the response could be unacceptable, a user agent SHOULD temporarily stop receipt of more data and query the user for a decision on further actions. === 407 Proxy Authentication Required === This code is similar to 401 (Unauthorized), but indicates that the client MUST first authenticate itself with the proxy. The proxy MUST return a Proxy-Authenticate header field (section 14.33) containing a challenge applicable to the proxy for the requested resource. The client MAY repeat the request with a suitable Proxy-Authorization header field (section 14.34). HTTP access authentication is explained in section 11. === 408 Request Timeout === The client did not produce a request within the time that the server was prepared to wait. The client MAY repeat the request without modifications at any later time. === 409 Conflict === The request could not be completed due to a conflict with the current state of the resource. This code is only allowed in situations where it is expected that the user might be able to resolve the conflict and resubmit the request. The response body SHOULD include enough information for the user to recognize the source of the conflict. Ideally, the response entity would include enough information for the user or user agent to fix the problem; however, that may not be possible and is not required. Conflicts are most likely to occur in response to a PUT request. If versioning is being used and the entity being PUT includes changes to a resource which conflict with those made by an earlier (third-party) request, the server MAY use the 409 response to indicate that it can't complete the request. In this case, the response entity SHOULD contain a list of the differences between the two versions in a format defined by the response Content-Type. === 410 Gone === The requested resource is no longer available at the server and no forwarding address is known. This condition SHOULD be considered permanent. Clients with link editing capabilities SHOULD delete references to the Request-URI after user approval. If the server does not know, or has no facility to determine, whether or not the condition is permanent, the status code 404 (Not Found) SHOULD be used instead. This response is cachable unless indicated otherwise. The 410 response is primarily intended to assist the task of web maintenance by notifying the recipient that the resource is intentionally unavailable and that the server owners desire that remote links to that resource be removed. Such an event is common for limited-time, promotional services and for resources belonging to individuals no longer working at the server's site. It is not necessary to mark all permanently unavailable resources as "gone" or to keep the mark for any length of time -- that is left to the discretion of the server owner. === 411 Length Required === The server refuses to accept the request without a defined Content-Length. The client MAY repeat the request if it adds a valid Content-Length header field containing the length of the message-body in the request message. === 412 Precondition Failed === The precondition given in one or more of the request-header fields evaluated to false when it was tested on the server. This response code allows the client to place preconditions on the current resource metainformation (header field data) and thus prevent the requested method from being applied to a resource other than the one intended. === 413 Request Entity Too Large === The server is refusing to process a request because the request entity is larger than the server is willing or able to process. The server may close the connection to prevent the client from continuing the request. If the condition is temporary, the server SHOULD include a Retry- After header field to indicate that it is temporary and after what time the client may try again. === 414 Request-URI Too Long === The server is refusing to service the request because the Request-URI is longer than the server is willing to interpret. This rare condition is only likely to occur when a client has improperly converted a POST request to a GET request with long query information, when the client has descended into a URL "black hole" of redirection (e.g., a redirected URL prefix that points to a suffix of itself), or when the server is under attack by a client attempting to exploit security holes present in some servers using fixed-length buffers for reading or manipulating the Request-URI. === 415 Unsupported Media Type === The server is refusing to service the request because the entity of the request is in a format not supported by the requested resource for the requested method. == 5xx Server Error == Response status codes beginning with the digit "5" indicate cases in which the server is aware that it has erred or is incapable of performing the request. Except when responding to a HEAD request, the server SHOULD include an entity containing an explanation of the error situation, and whether it is a temporary or permanent condition. User agents SHOULD display any included entity to the user. These response codes are applicable to any request method. === 500 Internal Server Error === The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request. === 501 Not Implemented === The server does not support the functionality required to fulfill the request. This is the appropriate response when the server does not recognize the request method and is not capable of supporting it for any resource. === 502 Bad Gateway === The server, while acting as a gateway or proxy, received an invalid response from the upstream server it accessed in attempting to fulfill the request. === 503 Service Unavailable === The server is currently unable to handle the request due to a temporary overloading or maintenance of the server. The implication is that this is a temporary condition which will be alleviated after some delay. If known, the length of the delay may be indicated in a Retry-After header. If no Retry-After is given, the client SHOULD handle the response as it would for a 500 response.

At any time, my CD player is likely to contain anything from [http://www.enya.com/ Enya], [http://www.endorphin.tv/ Endorphin], Gatecrasher, [http://www.enigma.de/ Enigma], Live, Veruca Salt, Ganggajang, Air (the French band), [http://www.ebtg.com/ Everything But The Girl], the Corrs, Ben Folds Five, Stone Temple Pilots, modern jazz with Marc Moulin, or straight classical (Bach, Ravel, Mozart, Handel, Strauss, Rachmaninov, Vivaldi, Schubert, ...). And as for radio, there's basically only four stations worth listening to in Aus: [http://abc.net.au/radio/localradio/ ABC Local Radio], [http://abc.net.au/rn/ ABC Radio National] (for news and sport (think cricket)), [http://abc.net.au/classic/ ABC Classic FM] and ABC's "youth radio" [http://abc.net.au/triplej/ TripleJ]. You can even listen to the J's on the [http://abc.net.au/triplej/listen/default.htm 'Net]. In case you hadn't guessed, my radio's usually stuck on JJJ. At home, I have a nice [http://www.yamahamusic.com.au/ Yamaha] [http://www.yamahamusic.com.au/products/avit/htavreceivers/RX-V757B.asp RX-V757B] receiver/amp (upgraded from an RX-V2092), with 5-channels worth of Aaron speakers - a pair of ATS-5 speakers at the front, a pair of ATS-1 speakers for the rear, and a CC-240 centre speaker. Very happy with the setup, a very clean, natural sound. The room is small enough for the ATS-5s to pump out enough bass, without annoying the neighbours too much. The rest of the components are Yamaha CDC-765 6 disc CD turntable, Yamaha DVD-S796 DVD player, Sony SLV-X822 VCR and a [http://www.sharp.net.au/ Sharp] 32" Aquos [http://www.sharp.net.au/catalogue/productinfo.asp?model=LC32GA4X LC32GA4X] LCD TV.

I also have an 80 GiB [http://www.apple.com/ipod/ iPod Video], after upgrading from a 3rd Generation 40 GB iPod, which is still surviving well, after being used cycling, in the car and hooked up to the rest of the gear above. I originally filled my iPod using [http://www.netbsd.org NetBSD] and [http://www.gnu.org/software/gnupod/ gnupod], later [http://www.gtkpod.org/about.html gtkpod], but now I've migrated to [http://www.rockbox.org Rockbox]. === Sport === I'm not overly athletic, but I do play tennis around three or four times a week, playing in the [http://www.tenniswollongong.com.au/ Wollongong District] Mens Wednesday Night Comp, and the Saturday Afternoon Mixed Comp, and often Sunday afternoon social game at my home courts at Wiseman Park, in Wollongong. I'm almost a B-grade player, but a shoulder injury (rotator-cuff partial tear) has held me back somewhat. I also try to get some cycling in, with the cycleway only a few hundred metres from my unit, there's no excuses. During the summer months I'm more keen to ride, my goal being to ride to work at least a couple of times a week (only 11 km each way). A goal that hasn't been realised. As well as these, I was introduced to skiing at an early age, with my parents both being ski instructors at various times. Although during high school, downhill skiing wasn't quite in the budget, so I enjoyed some cross-country skiing (traditional, not skating). Now, with a good job, I try to get a weeks downhill skiing in each year, with some cross country skiing on the side. Being a member of the [http://www.iacski.com/ Illawarra Alpine Club (IAC)] means I get great accommodation. === Computers === I'm a regular lurker on the [http://www.netbsd.org/MailingLists/ NetBSD], [http://developer.apple.com/darwin/mail.html Darwin] and [http://my.adsm.org/adsm-l.php TSM] (Tivoli Storage Manager) mailing lists, mainly learning and questioning, but responding when there's time. Also, I'm a part time hobbyist programmer in a variety of languages, my current choices being C, Perl, Objective-C, C++ and Java, probably in that order, although as in my [[Résumé]], I've touched a great deal more over the years. As would be expected, I've collected a fair bit of hardware.

It uses the [http://arduino.cc/en/Reference/EEPROM EEPROM], [http://arduino.cc/en/Reference/LiquidCrystal LiquidCrystal] & [http://arduino.cc/en/Reference/Wire Wire] system libraries, and [https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/td_libs_DS1307RTC.html DS1307RTC], [http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Learning/OneWire OneWire] & [https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/td_libs_Time.html Time] local libraries. There was a few hiccups along the way. First, there's an old bug which causes relocation truncations, especially in libm, due to their use of relative jump/calls. But, I found a [[AVR_relocation_truncations_workaround|workaround]] which works for my case. Next, was the fact that the avr-gcc in NetBSD pkgsrc is a relatively unpatched release of 4.5.3. I dug into one issue, using <code>avr-objdump -d</code>, and noticed that a working binary built on a Linux box had a larger interrupt vector table than the binaries I had built on NetBSD. Digging deeper, I managed to come up with the patch that I later found [https://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs/gcc/trunk/gcc/config/avr/avr-devices.c?r1=168438&r2=170137 here]. That still didn't get a working binary. I then found a suite of gcc patches Atmel have on their [http://distribute.atmel.no/tools/opensource/avr-gcc/gcc-4.5.1/ site]. Ok. Hoping that these had been pulled up into the gcc mainline, and not wanting to try to apply all these to the old gcc, I took a shot at upgrading NetBSD's pkgsrc cross/avr-gcc to something more recent - 4.8.3 - which resulted in a working [http://gnats.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=48890 patch] and working avr binaries.

Turns out, it's a common problem. The amp had survived at least one large power surge (an 11kV line on the power pole outside the block of units had dropped down onto the 415V lines - blew the power board off the wall on a neighbouring block!) and probably copped another one during a lightning storm. After that, the amp failed to power on - no relay clicks, no front display, not much of anything. Opening it up, I found that there was no power going to the main large transformer, and so no power going to the power button. A bit of searching around, and it's pretty well documented, as described in this video: [http://youtu.be/MwvjAtSr5t8 EEVBlog #379 - Yamaha RX-V557 Receiver Fix] That was it - I unsoldered C405, which was supposed to be a 22nF metalized polyester film greencap capacitor, and measured it - 1.5nF. Quick trip to Jaycar and bought a 22nF 630V capacitor, measured it (yep, 22nF) soldered it in, and works perfectly.

This has been pretty rock solid, and the router seems to do a decent job - although the 16 device WiFi limit is incredibly restrictive. Around June, I decided to find out what IPv6 is all about, and get it up and running since my ISP (Internode) remarkably supports it. Sure, the router doesn't (or didn't) support IPv6 natively, but since I'm using LLC PPPoE bridging, that really shouldn't matter. So, I set it up, and it didn't work. Doing some digging, I discovered that my configuration was valid, and worked with a Billion 7300A ([http://au.billion.com/downloads/datasheet/adsl/BiPAC-7300RA-7300GRA.pdf datasheet]) and a Billion 7800VDOX ([http://au.billion.com/downloads/datasheet/voip/Billion-BiPAC-7800VDOX.pdf datasheet]) I borrowed for testing. But with my 7700N, I wasn't getting any responses to my dhcp6 solicit requests. I did notice that I was receiving ICMPv6 router advertisement packets from my ISP, but these were arriving with a PPPoE header type field set to '0', where the PPPoE RFC 2516 requires a value of '1'. ; 2014-06-04: Opened a Billion support case. ; 2014-06-30: Obligatory request to upgrade to latest unreleased firmware (which they provided) and perform a factory reset. ; 2014-07-02: Request to set up port mirroring and grab wireshark traces. Debugging a bit further, I discover that the 7700N is flipping the PPPoE type field from '1' to '0' on all encapsulated IPv6 packets. Forwarded all this info and captures on to Billion. ; 2014-07-04: Request for config dump and screen shots. ; 2014-07-08: Request to enable IPv6 on the router... sigh. Explained patiently that that setting is not available for LLC PPPoE bridging, and doesn't even make sense. ; 2014-07-11: Request to install something called "Teamviewer" to let them have access to my router. Dug up an old Windows laptop, and did as requested. ; 2014-07-16: Engineer discovers that disabling QoS and/or setting the "Default DSCP Mark" to "No Change(-1)" rather than "default(000000)" fixes the issue! ; 2014-07-28: Request to test with new firmware image, which works a treat, regardless of the QoS settings. Ok, that took a little while, but they got there in the end, with a good result. So, consumer kit engineering level support is possible! Who'da thunk it?

I also try to get some cycling in, with the cycleway only a few hundred metres from my unit, there's no excuses. During the summer months I'm more keen to ride, my goal being to ride to work at least a couple of times a week (only 11 km each way). A goal that hasn't been realised. As well as these, I was introduced to skiing at an early age, with my parents both being ski instructors at various times. Although during high school, downhill skiing wasn't quite in the budget, so I enjoyed some cross-country skiing (traditional, not skating).

The danger is profound and terrible; it cannot be waved aside with easy optimism. '''The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt'''. Even those of the intelligent who believe that they have a nostrum are too individualistic to combine with other intelligent men from whom they differ on minor points. This was not always the case.<br> -- "The Triumph of Stupidity" (1933-05-10) in Mortals and Others: Bertrand Russell's American Essays, 1931-1935 (Routledge, 1998, ISBN 0-415-17866-5), p. 28 ---- It has often and confidently been asserted, that man's origin can never be known: '''but ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge''': it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science.<br> -- "The Descent of Man" (1871), Charles Darwin, Introduction, p. 4. ---- Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.<br> -- Albert Einstein ---- Science literacy is a vaccine against the charlatans of the world that would exploit your ignorance.<br> -- Neil deGrasse Tyson ---- Some people have a mental horizon of radius zero, and call it their point of view.<br> -- David Hilbert ---- The more complex the mind, the greater the need for the simplicity of play.<br> -- Captain Kirk, "Shore Leave" ---- When you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to reform.<br> -- Mark Twain ---- Is this *idiocy*?

It isn't her's. It isn't our's either. It's ours, and likewise it's theirs and yours. ---- SOCIOLOGY: For sheer lack of intelligibility, sociology is far and away the number one subject. I sat through hundreds of hours of sociology courses, and read gobs of sociology writing, and I never once heard or read a coherent statement. This is because sociologists want to be considered scientists, so they spend most of their time translating simple, obvious observations into scientific-sounding code. If you plan to major in sociology, you'll have to learn to do the same thing. For example, suppose you have observed that children cry when they fall down. You should write: "Methodological observation of the sociometrical behavior tendencies of prematurated isolates indicates that a causal relationship exists between groundward tropism and lachrimatory behavior forms." If you can keep this up for 50 or 60 pages, you will get a large government grant. ---- If I were a blue spider, I would certainly ride on a train all the way from Avallon to Paris, and I would set up my house on the nose of a chocolate penguin.

Escher (1898-1972) ---- Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.<br> If you aren't in over your head, how do you know how tall you are?<br> -- T.S. Elliot ---- My father (a lawyer) told me that company culture is driven from the top -- if it's the people who make the product, you're good; sell the product, you're OK. If the accountants take over, look for another job, and if the lawyers take over, run as fast as you can the other way.<br> -- Alden Hart ---- War will exist until that distant day when the conscientious objector enjoys the same reputation and prestige that the warrior does today. <br> -- John F.

A "morally aligned" elite consisting of people who want to change everyone else's world to be like their own. See "Wrong Answer, The". ---- A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary.

Medicine.<br> -- Tim Minchin, "Storm" ---- Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people.<br> -- Often attributed to Eleanor Roosevelt, but disputed. Around since 1948. ---- All great truths begin as blasphemies.<br> -- George Bernard Shaw, Annajanska (1919) ---- Every act of creation is first an act of destruction.<br> -- Pablo Picasso (paraphrased?) ---- One of the painful things about our time is that those who feel certainty are stupid, and those with any imagination and understanding are filled with doubt and indecision.<br> -- Bertrand Russell (paraphrased?) ---- If a man will begin with certainties, he shall end in doubts; but if he will be content to begin with doubts he shall end in certainties.<br> -- Francis Bacon (1561 – 1626) ---- It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so.<br> -- Mark Twain ---- If you're going to be passionate about something, be passionate about learning. If you're going to fight something, fight for those in need. If you're going to question something, question authority. If you're going to lose something, lose your inhibitions. If you're going to gain something, gain respect and confidence. And if you're going to hate something, hate the false idea that you are not capable of your dreams.<br> -- Daniel Golston ---- Tomorrow's illiterate will not be the man who can't read; he will be the man who has not learned how to learn.<br> -- Psychologist Herbert Gerjuoy as quoted by Alvin Toffler in Future Shock (1970), ch. 18. ---- Force plays a much larger part in the government of the world than it did before 1914, and what is especially alarming, force tends increasingly to fall into the hands of those who are enemies of civilization. The danger is profound and terrible; it cannot be waved aside with easy optimism. '''The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt'''. Even those of the intelligent who believe that they have a nostrum are too individualistic to combine with other intelligent men from whom they differ on minor points. This was not always the case.<br> -- "The Triumph of Stupidity" (1933-05-10) in Mortals and Others: Bertrand Russell's American Essays, 1931-1935 (Routledge, 1998, ISBN 0-415-17866-5), p. 28 ---- It has often and confidently been asserted, that man's origin can never be known: '''but ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge''': it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science.<br> -- "The Descent of Man" (1871), Charles Darwin, Introduction, p. 4. ---- Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.<br> -- Albert Einstein ---- Science literacy is a vaccine against the charlatans of the world that would exploit your ignorance.<br> -- Neil deGrasse Tyson ---- Some people have a mental horizon of radius zero, and call it their point of view.<br> -- David Hilbert ---- The more complex the mind, the greater the need for the simplicity of play.<br> -- Captain Kirk, "Shore Leave" ---- When you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to reform.<br> -- Mark Twain ---- Is this *idiocy*? Or something so brilliant that it just *looks* stupid?<br> -- Gary Kasparov ---- Simplicity does not precede complexity, but follows it.<br> -- Alan J. Perlis ---- People who think they know everything really annoy those of us who know we don't.<br> -- Bjarne Stroustrup ---- A sense of humor is a measurement of the extent to which we realize that we are trapped in a world almost totally devoid of reason. Laughter is how we express the anxiety we feel at this knowledge.<br> -- Dave Barry ---- I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.<br> -- Douglas Adams ---- It's is not, it isn't ain't, and it's it's, not its, if you mean it is. If you don't, it's its. Then too, it's hers. It isn't her's. It isn't our's either. It's ours, and likewise it's theirs and yours. ---- SOCIOLOGY: For sheer lack of intelligibility, sociology is far and away the number one subject. I sat through hundreds of hours of sociology courses, and read gobs of sociology writing, and I never once heard or read a coherent statement. This is because sociologists want to be considered scientists, so they spend most of their time translating simple, obvious observations into scientific-sounding code. If you plan to major in sociology, you'll have to learn to do the same thing. For example, suppose you have observed that children cry when they fall down. You should write: "Methodological observation of the sociometrical behavior tendencies of prematurated isolates indicates that a causal relationship exists between groundward tropism and lachrimatory behavior forms." If you can keep this up for 50 or 60 pages, you will get a large government grant. ---- If I were a blue spider, I would certainly ride on a train all the way from Avallon to Paris, and I would set up my house on the nose of a chocolate penguin. It's just a matter of common sense."<br> --James Wright, "Against Surrealism" ---- We now return our souls to the creator,<br> As we stand on the edge of eternal darkness.<br> Let our chant fill the void,<br> In order that others may know.<br> In the land of the night,<br> The ship of the sun is drawn by the grateful dead.<br> --Egyptian Book of the Dead ---- It is better wither to be silent,<br> :or to say things of more value than silence.<br> Sooner throw a pearl at hazard than an idle or useless word;<br> :and do not say a little in many words,<br> :but a great deal in a few.<br> -- Pythagoras ---- "Always ... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better. And twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad. And too much is never enough except when it's just about right."<br> -- The Tick ---- UFO's are for real: the Air Force doesn't exist. ---- "In the drowsy dark cave of the mind dreams<br> build their nest with fragments dropped from day's caravan."<br> -- Rabindranath Tagore ---- I have made this letter longer than usual because I lack the time to make it shorter.<br> -- Blaise Pascal ---- WARNING: Suffering attention deficit disorder and I'm not afraid to spread it. Now stand back or I'll.. mmm cheesecake<br> -- Homer Simpson ---- Support mental health or I'll kill you. ---- "I went into a general store, and they wouldn't sell me anything specific".<br> -- Steven Wright ---- Reality is what, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. ---- Reality is a crutch for people who can't cope with drugs.<br> -- Lily Tomlin ---- Failure is not an option. It is a privilege reserved for those who try. ---- Failure? I never encountered it. All I ever met were temporary setbacks.<br> -- Dottie Walters ---- Success is the mark on the brow of the man who has aimed too low ---- Natives who beat drums to drive off evil spirits are objects of scorn to smart Americans who blow horns to break up traffic jams.<br> -- Mary Ellen Kelly ---- If I had eight hours to chop down a<br> tree, I'd spend six sharpening my axe.<br> -- Abraham Lincoln ---- A physicist is an atom's way of knowing about atoms.<br> -- George Wald ---- Statistics are like bikinis. What they reveal is suggestive, but what they conceal is vital.<br> -- Aaron Levenstein ---- "He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose."<br> -- Jim Elliot ---- It is one of the superstitions of the human mind to have imagined that virginity could be a virtue.<br> -- Voltaire ---- What is tolerance? -- it is the consequence of humanity. We are all formed of frailty and error; let us pardon reciprocally each other's folly -- that is the first law of nature.<br> -- Voltaire ---- In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice.<br> But, in practice, there is.<br> -- Yogi Berra ---- I think...I think it's in my basement. Let me go upstairs and check.<br> -- M.C. Escher (1898-1972) ---- Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.<br> If you aren't in over your head, how do you know how tall you are?<br> -- T.S. Elliot ---- My father (a lawyer) told me that company culture is driven from the top -- if it's the people who make the product, you're good; sell the product, you're OK. If the accountants take over, look for another job, and if the lawyers take over, run as fast as you can the other way.<br> -- Alden Hart ---- War will exist until that distant day when the conscientious objector enjoys the same reputation and prestige that the warrior does today. <br> -- John F. Kennedy ---- Let us not despair but act. Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past - let us accept our own responsibility for the future.<br> -- John F. Kennedy == Latin == ; Sed quis custodiet ipsos custodes? : Who watches the watchmen? ---- ; Ubi dubium ibi libertas : Where there is doubt there is freedom. ---- ; Ita erat quando hic adveni : It was that way when I got here. ---- == Religion == Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?<br> Then he is not omnipotent.<br> Is he able, but not willing?<br> Then he is malevolent.<br> Is he both able and willing?<br> Then whence cometh evil?<br> Is he neither able nor willing?<br> Then why call him God?<br> -- Often attributed to Epicurus (341 BC – 270 BC), but disputed ---- I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.<br> -- Galileo Galilei ---- I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.<br> -- Stephen F. Roberts ---- The various modes of worship which prevailed in the Roman world were all considered by the people as equally true; by the philosopher as equally false; and by the magistrate as equally useful.<br> -- Edward Gibbon, 1776 ---- Organised Religion (OR g@ nizd re LIJ @n) n. A "morally aligned" elite consisting of people who want to change everyone else's world to be like their own. See "Wrong Answer, The". ---- A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.<br> -- Albert Einstein ---- As long as you pray to God and ask him for some benefit, you are not a religious man.<br> -- Albert Einstein ---- Whatever there is of God and goodness in the universe, it must work itself out and express itself through us.

In all cases, the cache attempts to keep recently used data in a small area that is faster than the large, slow primary storage area, with the hope that the data will be accessed again, soon. The system then benefits from the faster access times. The '''Cache Hit Ratio''' is the ratio of the number of cache hits to the number of misses, usually expressed as a percentage. Depending on the nature of the cache, expected hit ratios can vary from 60% to greater than 99%. [[image:Cachehitratio.png|thumb|200px|right|Cache Hit Ratio vs Relative Performance]] Cache Hit Ratios are inherently logarithmic; the closer to 100%, the exponentially greater the gains. A simple way of visualising the nature of cache hit ratios, is to attempt to convert a ratio to a relative performance metric (ie. "transactions" or "operations" per second), by estimating the relative costs of a cache hit and a cache miss. This can be expressed as: <math> \begin{align} a & = \mathit{cachehitcost}\\ b & = \mathit{cachemisscost}\\ r & = \mathit{cachehitratio}\\ p & = \mathit{relativeperformance}\\ p & = \frac{1}{a r + b(1 - r)}\\ \end{align} </math> Graphically, given a cache miss cost of 0.005 s (5 ms) and a hit cost of 0.000001 s (1 &mu;s), which may be the case for a database engine (disk I/O vs virtual memory overheads), the exponential behaviour is clear. It can also be seen, that the more disparate the hit and miss costs, as is the case in modern computer systems, the relative performance quickly approaches: <math> p = \frac{1}{1 - r} </math> Therefore the difference between two relative cache hit ratios, with a large difference between hit and miss costs, can be given by: <math> \frac{1 - r_{1}}{1 - r_{2}} </math> Example: The difference between 98% cache hit ratio and 95% cache hit ratio is a factor of 2.5. <math> \frac{1 - 0.95}{1 - 0.92} = 2.5 </math> {{clr}} [[Category:Computing]] [[Category:Mathematics]] 8b95a54e61c1afddbcfb99a89cc7923055334b53 0 1672 3270 3065 2016-01-07T23:19:08Z Stix 2 Category rename "Computer Related" -> "Computing". wikitext text/x-wiki Useful speed tweaks available through <tt>about:config</tt>, specifically when behind a caching proxy: browser.cache.disk_cache_ssl = true network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy = 8 network.http.pipelining.ssl = true network.http.proxy.pipelining = true [[Category:Computing]] d18d527cc88c6c4e2c9395354bed7304a31795c4 0 1669 3271 3148 2016-01-07T23:19:12Z Stix 2 Category rename "Computer Related" -> "Computing". wikitext text/x-wiki When is a CPU second not a CPU second? When you are running with hyper-threading (aka HT, HTT, Symmetric Multi-Threading (SMT), etc) enabled. Here's a simple demonstration. == NetBSD 4.0 on a Pentium 4 == The system here has a "Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz", single core (one "physical" CPU) with hyper-threading enabled (giving two "logical" CPUs), running NetBSD 4.0 with an SMP kernel. We run a deterministic unit of work on an idle system: ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 10.28s real 10.05s user 0.24s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 10.26s real 10.05s user 0.20s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 10.31s real 10.08s user 0.23s system The times are fairly consistent, and, roughly, real = user + sys. Next we add an arbitrary load to the system. We assume the kernel will now schedule each thread on each logical CPU, and it is then up to the CPUs hyper-threading algorithm how the instructions are scheduled on the single core. ksh$ perl -e 'while(1){}' & [1] 9382 ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 15.36s real 14.96s user 0.36s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 15.49s real 14.97s user 0.34s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 15.41s real 14.95s user 0.37s system OK, so what has happened here? The real time has increased by about 50%, but so has the user time. On the same system with hyper-threading disabled, you would expect the user time to remain about the same, and the real time to approximately double. Here, because both threads are really sharing the same core and its resources, they tend to compete and slow each other down. However, as the real time has not doubled, the overall throughput of the system has increased over the uni-processor case. Also, adding more load only increases the real time, as only two threads can ever be executed in parallel. ksh$ perl -e 'while(1){}' & [2] 12480 ksh$ perl -e 'while(1){}' & [3] 29686 ksh$ perl -e 'while(1){}' & [4] 12019 ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 38.14s real 15.12s user 0.33s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 34.45s real 15.11s user 0.25s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 37.96s real 15.04s user 0.34s system For reference, the CPU tested was: cpu0: Intel Pentium 4 (686-class), 2798.79 MHz, id 0xf25 cpu0: features 0xbfebfbff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR> cpu0: features 0xbfebfbff<PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CFLUSH,DS,ACPI,MMX> cpu0: features 0xbfebfbff<FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,HTT,TM,SBF> cpu0: features2 0x4400<CID,xTPR> cpu0: "Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz" cpu0: I-cache 12K uOp cache 8-way, D-cache 8KB 64B/line 4-way cpu0: L2 cache 512KB 64B/line 8-way cpu0: ITLB 4K/4M: 64 entries cpu0: DTLB 4K/4M: 64 entries cpu0: Initial APIC ID 1 cpu0: Cluster/Package ID 0 cpu0: SMT ID 1 cpu0: family 0f model 02 extfamily 00 extmodel 00 == Linux 2.6 on a Xeon X5650 == Second test, on Linux 2.6.38 on a 6-physical core Xeon (Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5650 @ 2.67GHz).

When you are running with hyper-threading (aka HT, HTT, Symmetric Multi-Threading (SMT), etc) enabled. Here's a simple demonstration. == NetBSD 4.0 on a Pentium 4 == The system here has a "Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz", single core (one "physical" CPU) with hyper-threading enabled (giving two "logical" CPUs), running NetBSD 4.0 with an SMP kernel. We run a deterministic unit of work on an idle system: ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 10.28s real 10.05s user 0.24s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 10.26s real 10.05s user 0.20s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 10.31s real 10.08s user 0.23s system The times are fairly consistent, and, roughly, real = user + sys. Next we add an arbitrary load to the system. We assume the kernel will now schedule each thread on each logical CPU, and it is then up to the CPUs hyper-threading algorithm how the instructions are scheduled on the single core. ksh$ perl -e 'while(1){}' & [1] 9382 ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 15.36s real 14.96s user 0.36s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 15.49s real 14.97s user 0.34s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 15.41s real 14.95s user 0.37s system OK, so what has happened here? The real time has increased by about 50%, but so has the user time. On the same system with hyper-threading disabled, you would expect the user time to remain about the same, and the real time to approximately double. Here, because both threads are really sharing the same core and its resources, they tend to compete and slow each other down. However, as the real time has not doubled, the overall throughput of the system has increased over the uni-processor case. Also, adding more load only increases the real time, as only two threads can ever be executed in parallel. ksh$ perl -e 'while(1){}' & [2] 12480 ksh$ perl -e 'while(1){}' & [3] 29686 ksh$ perl -e 'while(1){}' & [4] 12019 ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 38.14s real 15.12s user 0.33s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 34.45s real 15.11s user 0.25s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 37.96s real 15.04s user 0.34s system For reference, the CPU tested was: cpu0: Intel Pentium 4 (686-class), 2798.79 MHz, id 0xf25 cpu0: features 0xbfebfbff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR> cpu0: features 0xbfebfbff<PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CFLUSH,DS,ACPI,MMX> cpu0: features 0xbfebfbff<FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,HTT,TM,SBF> cpu0: features2 0x4400<CID,xTPR> cpu0: "Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz" cpu0: I-cache 12K uOp cache 8-way, D-cache 8KB 64B/line 4-way cpu0: L2 cache 512KB 64B/line 8-way cpu0: ITLB 4K/4M: 64 entries cpu0: DTLB 4K/4M: 64 entries cpu0: Initial APIC ID 1 cpu0: Cluster/Package ID 0 cpu0: SMT ID 1 cpu0: family 0f model 02 extfamily 00 extmodel 00 == Linux 2.6 on a Xeon X5650 == Second test, on Linux 2.6.38 on a 6-physical core Xeon (Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5650 @ 2.67GHz).

Also, adding more load only increases the real time, as only two threads can ever be executed in parallel. <syntaxhighlight lang="bash" enclose="div"> ksh$ perl -e 'while(1){}' & [2] 12480 ksh$ perl -e 'while(1){}' & [3] 29686 ksh$ perl -e 'while(1){}' & [4] 12019 ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 38.14s real 15.12s user 0.33s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 34.45s real 15.11s user 0.25s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 37.96s real 15.04s user 0.34s system </syntaxhighlight> For reference, the CPU tested was: <syntaxhighlight lang="text" enclose="div"> cpu0: Intel Pentium 4 (686-class), 2798.79 MHz, id 0xf25 cpu0: features 0xbfebfbff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR> cpu0: features 0xbfebfbff<PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CFLUSH,DS,ACPI,MMX> cpu0: features 0xbfebfbff<FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,HTT,TM,SBF> cpu0: features2 0x4400<CID,xTPR> cpu0: "Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz" cpu0: I-cache 12K uOp cache 8-way, D-cache 8KB 64B/line 4-way cpu0: L2 cache 512KB 64B/line 8-way cpu0: ITLB 4K/4M: 64 entries cpu0: DTLB 4K/4M: 64 entries cpu0: Initial APIC ID 1 cpu0: Cluster/Package ID 0 cpu0: SMT ID 1 cpu0: family 0f model 02 extfamily 00 extmodel 00 </syntaxhighlight> == Linux 2.6 on a Xeon X5650 == Second test, on Linux 2.6.38 on a 6-physical core Xeon (Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5650 @ 2.67GHz).

When you are running with hyper-threading (aka HT, HTT, Symmetric Multi-Threading (SMT), etc) enabled. Here's a simple demonstration. == NetBSD 4.0 on a Pentium 4 == The system here has a "Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz", single core (one "physical" CPU) with hyper-threading enabled (giving two "logical" CPUs), running NetBSD 4.0 with an SMP kernel. We run a deterministic unit of work on an idle system: <syntaxhighlight lang="bash" enclose="div"> ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 10.28s real 10.05s user 0.24s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 10.26s real 10.05s user 0.20s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 10.31s real 10.08s user 0.23s system </syntaxhighlight> The times are fairly consistent, and, roughly, real = user + sys. Next we add an arbitrary load to the system. We assume the kernel will now schedule each thread on each logical CPU, and it is then up to the CPUs hyper-threading algorithm how the instructions are scheduled on the single core. <syntaxhighlight lang="bash" enclose="div"> ksh$ perl -e 'while(1){}' & [1] 9382 ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 15.36s real 14.96s user 0.36s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 15.49s real 14.97s user 0.34s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 15.41s real 14.95s user 0.37s system </syntaxhighlight> OK, so what has happened here? The real time has increased by about 50%, but so has the user time. On the same system with hyper-threading disabled, you would expect the user time to remain about the same, and the real time to approximately double. Here, because both threads are really sharing the same core and its resources, they tend to compete and slow each other down. However, as the real time has not doubled, the overall throughput of the system has increased over the uni-processor case. Also, adding more load only increases the real time, as only two threads can ever be executed in parallel. <syntaxhighlight lang="bash" enclose="div"> ksh$ perl -e 'while(1){}' & [2] 12480 ksh$ perl -e 'while(1){}' & [3] 29686 ksh$ perl -e 'while(1){}' & [4] 12019 ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 38.14s real 15.12s user 0.33s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 34.45s real 15.11s user 0.25s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 37.96s real 15.04s user 0.34s system </syntaxhighlight> For reference, the CPU tested was: <syntaxhighlight lang="text" enclose="div"> cpu0: Intel Pentium 4 (686-class), 2798.79 MHz, id 0xf25 cpu0: features 0xbfebfbff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR> cpu0: features 0xbfebfbff<PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CFLUSH,DS,ACPI,MMX> cpu0: features 0xbfebfbff<FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,HTT,TM,SBF> cpu0: features2 0x4400<CID,xTPR> cpu0: "Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz" cpu0: I-cache 12K uOp cache 8-way, D-cache 8KB 64B/line 4-way cpu0: L2 cache 512KB 64B/line 8-way cpu0: ITLB 4K/4M: 64 entries cpu0: DTLB 4K/4M: 64 entries cpu0: Initial APIC ID 1 cpu0: Cluster/Package ID 0 cpu0: SMT ID 1 cpu0: family 0f model 02 extfamily 00 extmodel 00 </syntaxhighlight> == Linux 2.6 on a Xeon X5650 == Second test, on Linux 2.6.38 on a 6-physical core Xeon (Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5650 @ 2.67GHz).

Long Description |- ! 0x00 || NO SENSE | Indicates that there is no specific sense key information to be reported. This may occur for a successful command or for a command that receives CHECK CONDITION status because one of the FILEMARK, EOM, or ILI bits is set to one. |- ! 0x01 || RECOVERED ERROR | Indicates that the command completed successfully, with some recovery action performed by the device server. Details may be determined by examining the additional sense bytes and the INFORMATION field. When multiple recovered errors occur during one command, the choice of which error to report (e.g., first, last, most severe) is vendor specific. |- ! 0x02 || NOT READY | Indicates that the logical unit is not accessible. Operator intervention may be required to correct this condition. |- ! 0x03 || MEDIUM ERROR | Indicates that the command terminated with a non-recovered error condition that may have been caused by a flaw in the medium or an error in the recorded data. This sense key may also be returned if the device server is unable to distinguish between a flaw in the medium and a specific hardware failure (i.e., sense key 4h). |- ! 0x04 || HARDWARE ERROR | Indicates that the device server detected a non-recoverable hardware failure (e.g., controller failure, device failure, or parity error) while performing the command or during a self test. |- ! 0x05 || ILLEGAL REQUEST | Indicates that: # The command was addressed to an incorrect logical unit number (see SAM-4); # The command had an invalid task attribute (see SAM-4); # The command was addressed to a logical unit whose current configuration prohibits processing the command; # There was an illegal parameter in the CDB; or # There was an illegal parameter in the additional parameters supplied as data for some commands (e.g., PERSISTENT RESERVE OUT). If the device server detects an invalid parameter in the CDB, it shall terminate the command without altering the medium. If the device server detects an invalid parameter in the additional parameters supplied as data, the device server may have already altered the medium. |- ! 0x06 || UNIT ATTENTION | Indicates that a unit attention condition has been established (e.g., the removable medium may have been changed, a logical unit reset occurred). See SAM-4. |- ! 0x07 || DATA PROTECT | Indicates that a command that reads or writes the medium was attempted on a block that is protected. The read or write operation is not performed. |- ! 0x08 || BLANK CHECK | Indicates that a write-once device or a sequential-access device encountered blank medium or format-defined end-of-data indication while reading or that a write-once device encountered a non-blank medium while writing. |- ! 0x09 || VENDOR SPECIFIC | This sense key is available for reporting vendor specific conditions. |- ! 0x0a || COPY ABORTED | Indicates an EXTENDED COPY command was aborted due to an error condition on the source device, the destination device, or both (see 6.3.3). |- ! 0x0b || ABORTED COMMAND | Indicates that the device server aborted the command. The application client may be able to recover by trying the command again. |- ! 0x0c || obsolete || |- ! 0x0d || VOLUME OVERFLOW | Indicates that a buffered SCSI device has reached the end-of-partition and data may remain in the buffer that has not been written to the medium. One or more RECOVER BUFFERED DATA command(s) may be issued to read the unwritten data from the buffer.

Smooth scrolling (aka scroll animation?) can be disabled globally for a user by: <syntaxhighlight lang="text" enclose="div"> sh$ defaults write -g NSScrollAnimationEnabled -bool false </syntaxhighlight> Or, for a single application - eg. Google Chrome - via: <syntaxhighlight lang="text" enclose="div"> sh$ defaults write com.google.Chrome NSScrollAnimationEnabled -bool false </syntaxhighlight> Under Google Chrome, this takes effect on tab creation.

In all cases, the cache attempts to keep recently used data in a small area that is faster than the large, slow primary storage area, with the hope that the data will be accessed again, soon.

The danger is profound and terrible; it cannot be waved aside with easy optimism. '''The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt'''.

I sat through hundreds of hours of sociology courses, and read gobs of sociology writing, and I never once heard or read a coherent statement. This is because sociologists want to be considered scientists, so they spend most of their time translating simple, obvious observations into scientific-sounding code. If you plan to major in sociology, you'll have to learn to do the same thing. For example, suppose you have observed that children cry when they fall down. You should write: "Methodological observation of the sociometrical behavior tendencies of prematurated isolates indicates that a causal relationship exists between groundward tropism and lachrimatory behavior forms."

I sat through hundreds of hours of sociology courses, and read gobs of sociology writing, and I never once heard or read a coherent statement. This is because sociologists want to be considered scientists, so they spend most of their time translating simple, obvious observations into scientific-sounding code. If you plan to major in sociology, you'll have to learn to do the same thing. For example, suppose you have observed that children cry when they fall down. You should write: "Methodological observation of the sociometrical behavior tendencies of prematurated isolates indicates that a causal relationship exists between groundward tropism and lachrimatory behavior forms."

At any time, my CD player is likely to contain anything from [http://www.enya.com/ Enya], [http://www.endorphin.tv/ Endorphin], Gatecrasher, [http://www.enigma.de/ Enigma], Live, Veruca Salt, Ganggajang, Air (the French band), [http://www.ebtg.com/ Everything But The Girl], the Corrs, Ben Folds Five, Stone Temple Pilots, modern jazz with Marc Moulin, or straight classical (Bach, Ravel, Mozart, Handel, Strauss, Rachmaninov, Vivaldi, Schubert, ...). And as for radio, there's basically only four stations worth listening to in Aus: [http://abc.net.au/radio/localradio/ ABC Local Radio], [http://abc.net.au/rn/ ABC Radio National] (for news and sport (think cricket)), [http://abc.net.au/classic/ ABC Classic FM] and ABC's "youth radio" [http://abc.net.au/triplej/ TripleJ]. You can even listen to the J's on the [http://abc.net.au/triplej/listen/default.htm 'Net]. In case you hadn't guessed, my radio's usually stuck on JJJ. At home, I have a nice [http://www.yamahamusic.com.au/ Yamaha] [http://www.yamahamusic.com.au/products/avit/htavreceivers/RX-V757B.asp RX-V757B] receiver/amp (upgraded from an RX-V2092), with 5-channels worth of Aaron speakers - a pair of ATS-5 speakers at the front, a pair of ATS-1 speakers for the rear, and a CC-240 centre speaker. Very happy with the setup, a very clean, natural sound. The room is small enough for the ATS-5s to pump out enough bass, without annoying the neighbours too much.

I'm almost a B-grade player, but a shoulder injury (rotator-cuff partial tear) has held me back somewhat. I also try to get some cycling in, with the cycleway only a few hundred metres from my unit, there's no excuses. During the summer months I'm more keen to ride, my goal being to ride to work at least a couple of times a week (only 11 km each way). A goal that hasn't been realised. As well as these, I was introduced to skiing at an early age, with my parents both being ski instructors at various times. Although during high school, downhill skiing wasn't quite in the budget, so I enjoyed some cross-country skiing (traditional, not skating). Now, with a good job, I try to get a weeks downhill skiing in each year, with some cross country skiing on the side.

Also, I'm a part time hobbyist programmer in a variety of languages, my current choices being C, Perl, Objective-C, C++ and Java, probably in that order, although as in my [[Résumé]], I've touched a great deal more over the years.

When you are running with hyper-threading (aka HT, HTT, Symmetric Multi-Threading (SMT), etc) enabled. Here's a simple demonstration. == NetBSD 4.0 on a Pentium 4 == The system here has a "Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz", single core (one "physical" CPU) with hyper-threading enabled (giving two "logical" CPUs), running NetBSD 4.0 with an SMP kernel. We run a deterministic unit of work on an idle system: <syntaxhighlight lang="bash" enclose="div"> ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 10.28s real 10.05s user 0.24s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 10.26s real 10.05s user 0.20s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 10.31s real 10.08s user 0.23s system </syntaxhighlight> The times are fairly consistent, and, roughly, real = user + sys. Next we add an arbitrary load to the system. We assume the kernel will now schedule each thread on each logical CPU, and it is then up to the CPUs hyper-threading algorithm how the instructions are scheduled on the single core. <syntaxhighlight lang="bash" enclose="div"> ksh$ perl -e 'while(1){}' & [1] 9382 ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 15.36s real 14.96s user 0.36s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 15.49s real 14.97s user 0.34s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 15.41s real 14.95s user 0.37s system </syntaxhighlight> OK, so what has happened here? The real time has increased by about 50%, but so has the user time. On the same system with hyper-threading disabled, you would expect the user time to remain about the same, and the real time to approximately double. Here, because both threads are really sharing the same core and its resources, they tend to compete and slow each other down. However, as the real time has not doubled, the overall throughput of the system has increased over the uni-processor case. Also, adding more load only increases the real time, as only two threads can ever be executed in parallel. <syntaxhighlight lang="bash" enclose="div"> ksh$ perl -e 'while(1){}' & [2] 12480 ksh$ perl -e 'while(1){}' & [3] 29686 ksh$ perl -e 'while(1){}' & [4] 12019 ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 38.14s real 15.12s user 0.33s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 34.45s real 15.11s user 0.25s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 37.96s real 15.04s user 0.34s system </syntaxhighlight> For reference, the CPU tested was: <syntaxhighlight lang="text" enclose="div"> cpu0: Intel Pentium 4 (686-class), 2798.79 MHz, id 0xf25 cpu0: features 0xbfebfbff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR> cpu0: features 0xbfebfbff<PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CFLUSH,DS,ACPI,MMX> cpu0: features 0xbfebfbff<FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,HTT,TM,SBF> cpu0: features2 0x4400<CID,xTPR> cpu0: "Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz" cpu0: I-cache 12K uOp cache 8-way, D-cache 8KB 64B/line 4-way cpu0: L2 cache 512KB 64B/line 8-way cpu0: ITLB 4K/4M: 64 entries cpu0: DTLB 4K/4M: 64 entries cpu0: Initial APIC ID 1 cpu0: Cluster/Package ID 0 cpu0: SMT ID 1 cpu0: family 0f model 02 extfamily 00 extmodel 00 </syntaxhighlight> == Linux 2.6 on a Xeon X5650 == Second test, on Linux 2.6.38 on a 6-physical core Xeon (Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5650 @ 2.67GHz).

When you are running with hyper-threading (aka HT, HTT, Symmetric Multi-Threading (SMT), etc) enabled. Here's a simple demonstration. == NetBSD 4.0 on a Pentium 4 == The system here has a "Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz", single core (one "physical" CPU) with hyper-threading enabled (giving two "logical" CPUs), running NetBSD 4.0 with an SMP kernel. We run a deterministic unit of work on an idle system: <syntaxhighlight lang="text" enclose="div"> ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 10.28s real 10.05s user 0.24s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 10.26s real 10.05s user 0.20s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 10.31s real 10.08s user 0.23s system </syntaxhighlight> The times are fairly consistent, and, roughly, real = user + sys. Next we add an arbitrary load to the system. We assume the kernel will now schedule each thread on each logical CPU, and it is then up to the CPUs hyper-threading algorithm how the instructions are scheduled on the single core. <syntaxhighlight lang="text" enclose="div"> ksh$ perl -e 'while(1){}' & [1] 9382 ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 15.36s real 14.96s user 0.36s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 15.49s real 14.97s user 0.34s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 15.41s real 14.95s user 0.37s system </syntaxhighlight> OK, so what has happened here? The real time has increased by about 50%, but so has the user time. On the same system with hyper-threading disabled, you would expect the user time to remain about the same, and the real time to approximately double. Here, because both threads are really sharing the same core and its resources, they tend to compete and slow each other down. However, as the real time has not doubled, the overall throughput of the system has increased over the uni-processor case. Also, adding more load only increases the real time, as only two threads can ever be executed in parallel. <syntaxhighlight lang="text" enclose="div"> ksh$ perl -e 'while(1){}' & [2] 12480 ksh$ perl -e 'while(1){}' & [3] 29686 ksh$ perl -e 'while(1){}' & [4] 12019 ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 38.14s real 15.12s user 0.33s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 34.45s real 15.11s user 0.25s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 37.96s real 15.04s user 0.34s system </syntaxhighlight> For reference, the CPU tested was: <syntaxhighlight lang="text" enclose="div"> cpu0: Intel Pentium 4 (686-class), 2798.79 MHz, id 0xf25 cpu0: features 0xbfebfbff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR> cpu0: features 0xbfebfbff<PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CFLUSH,DS,ACPI,MMX> cpu0: features 0xbfebfbff<FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,HTT,TM,SBF> cpu0: features2 0x4400<CID,xTPR> cpu0: "Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz" cpu0: I-cache 12K uOp cache 8-way, D-cache 8KB 64B/line 4-way cpu0: L2 cache 512KB 64B/line 8-way cpu0: ITLB 4K/4M: 64 entries cpu0: DTLB 4K/4M: 64 entries cpu0: Initial APIC ID 1 cpu0: Cluster/Package ID 0 cpu0: SMT ID 1 cpu0: family 0f model 02 extfamily 00 extmodel 00 </syntaxhighlight> == Linux 2.6 on a Xeon X5650 == Second test, on Linux 2.6.38 on a 6-physical core Xeon (Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5650 @ 2.67GHz).

My WiFi story: * Atheros based D-Link DWL-G520 AR5212 PCI card, supporting 802.11b/g. Plugged into a NetBSD box running hostap. Ok, it worked, ignoring the occasional crashes and instability. * Dlink DAP-1522 WiFi bridge, supporting 802.11a/b/g/n. Pretty reliable, needed the occasional reboot. Ended up committing suicide, failing to stay powered up for more than a second or so, although that may have been due to the occasional electrical incident (UPS brownouts, and 11kV transmission lines dropping on the 415V domestic lines outside our building, that managed to blow the fuze box off the neighbouring building, and also [[2014-12-28 Yamaha RX-V757 Power Supply Fixed|hurt my Yamaha amp]]). * NETGEAR DGN2200 (I think?), supposedly capable of 802.11n. I was using it as a ADSL Wifi router - I found it unstable, dropped ADSL links frequently, crashed occasionally, and required regular reboots. I didn't keep it for long. * Billion BiPAC 7700N R2, also 802.11n capable. Used for quite a while, until I found the 16 wifi station limit too limiting. Still using it as an ADSL PPPoE bridge while I'm waiting for my NBN FTTP to be lit. I have a bit of a soft-spot for Billion after their [[2014-07-28_Billion_7700N_ADSL_Router_Good_News_Story|above & beyond tech support]]. * ASUS RT-N56U. My first dual-band router. Used just as a WiFi bridge, initially running stock firmware, and later OpenWRT, then briefly LEDE, until in later versions they stopped enabling all the interfaces on initial installation, which makes things a little tricky. * TP-Link Archer C7 v2. Also dual-band. Not bad, good range. Briefly ran the stock firmware, which was a little unreliable, before switching to OpenWRT, and then LEDE. Followed a bunch of bugs, upgraded to head/tip regularly, and even as of 2017-10-01, still had issues requiring a reboot to address. Seemed to be most unreliable with iPhones & iPads, android devices and laptops were mostly ok. * Ubiquiti UniFi AC Pro AP. Dual band. On the advice of a colleague, took the plunge, set up the unifi management software on my NetBSD router, bought the AP, and off we go. Stable. No crashes, no issues requiring reboots (with 16 days uptime). Plenty of features. I can see how this could work in an enterprise. Every bizarre WiFi dongle seems happy, from Apple stuff to el-cheapo mk808b android TV dongle.

The danger is profound and terrible; it cannot be waved aside with easy optimism. '''The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt'''.

I sat through hundreds of hours of sociology courses, and read gobs of sociology writing, and I never once heard or read a coherent statement. This is because sociologists want to be considered scientists, so they spend most of their time translating simple, obvious observations into scientific-sounding code. If you plan to major in sociology, you'll have to learn to do the same thing. For example, suppose you have observed that children cry when they fall down. You should write: "Methodological observation of the sociometrical behavior tendencies of prematurated isolates indicates that a causal relationship exists between groundward tropism and lachrimatory behavior forms."

The danger is profound and terrible; it cannot be waved aside with easy optimism. '''The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt'''. Even those of the intelligent who believe that they have a nostrum are too individualistic to combine with other intelligent men from whom they differ on minor points. This was not always the case.<br> -- "The Triumph of Stupidity" (1933-05-10) in Mortals and Others: Bertrand Russell's American Essays, 1931-1935 (Routledge, 1998, ISBN 0-415-17866-5), p. 28 ---- It has often and confidently been asserted, that man's origin can never be known: '''but ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge''': it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science.<br> -- "The Descent of Man" (1871), Charles Darwin, Introduction, p. 4. ---- Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.<br> -- Albert Einstein ---- Science literacy is a vaccine against the charlatans of the world that would exploit your ignorance.<br> -- Neil deGrasse Tyson ---- Some people have a mental horizon of radius zero, and call it their point of view.<br> -- David Hilbert ---- The more complex the mind, the greater the need for the simplicity of play.<br> -- Captain Kirk, "Shore Leave" ---- When you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to reform.<br> -- Mark Twain ---- Is this *idiocy*?

It isn't her's. It isn't our's either. It's ours, and likewise it's theirs and yours. ---- SOCIOLOGY: For sheer lack of intelligibility, sociology is far and away the number one subject. I sat through hundreds of hours of sociology courses, and read gobs of sociology writing, and I never once heard or read a coherent statement. This is because sociologists want to be considered scientists, so they spend most of their time translating simple, obvious observations into scientific-sounding code. If you plan to major in sociology, you'll have to learn to do the same thing. For example, suppose you have observed that children cry when they fall down. You should write: "Methodological observation of the sociometrical behavior tendencies of prematurated isolates indicates that a causal relationship exists between groundward tropism and lachrimatory behavior forms." If you can keep this up for 50 or 60 pages, you will get a large government grant. ---- If I were a blue spider, I would certainly ride on a train all the way from Avallon to Paris, and I would set up my house on the nose of a chocolate penguin.

We are a way for the cosmos to know itself.<br> -- Carl Sagan ---- In general we look for a new law by the following process. First we guess it. Then we compute the consequences of the guess to see what would be implied if this law that we guessed is right. Then we compare the result of the computation to nature, with experiment or experience, compare it directly with observation, to see if it works. If it disagrees with experiment it is wrong. In that simple statement is the key to science. It does not make any difference how beautiful your guess is.

If you're going to fight something, fight for those in need. If you're going to question something, question authority. If you're going to lose something, lose your inhibitions. If you're going to gain something, gain respect and confidence. And if you're going to hate something, hate the false idea that you are not capable of your dreams.<br> -- Daniel Golston ---- Tomorrow's illiterate will not be the man who can't read; he will be the man who has not learned how to learn.<br> -- Psychologist Herbert Gerjuoy as quoted by Alvin Toffler in Future Shock (1970), ch. 18. ---- Force plays a much larger part in the government of the world than it did before 1914, and what is especially alarming, force tends increasingly to fall into the hands of those who are enemies of civilization. The danger is profound and terrible; it cannot be waved aside with easy optimism. '''The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt'''. Even those of the intelligent who believe that they have a nostrum are too individualistic to combine with other intelligent men from whom they differ on minor points. This was not always the case.<br> -- "The Triumph of Stupidity" (1933-05-10) in Mortals and Others: Bertrand Russell's American Essays, 1931-1935 (Routledge, 1998, ISBN 0-415-17866-5), p. 28 ---- It has often and confidently been asserted, that man's origin can never be known: '''but ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge''': it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science.<br> -- "The Descent of Man" (1871), Charles Darwin, Introduction, p. 4. ---- Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.<br> -- Albert Einstein ---- Science literacy is a vaccine against the charlatans of the world that would exploit your ignorance.<br> -- Neil deGrasse Tyson ---- Some people have a mental horizon of radius zero, and call it their point of view.<br> -- David Hilbert ---- The more complex the mind, the greater the need for the simplicity of play.<br> -- Captain Kirk, "Shore Leave" ---- When you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to reform.<br> -- Mark Twain ---- Is this *idiocy*?

It isn't her's. It isn't our's either. It's ours, and likewise it's theirs and yours. ---- SOCIOLOGY: For sheer lack of intelligibility, sociology is far and away the number one subject. I sat through hundreds of hours of sociology courses, and read gobs of sociology writing, and I never once heard or read a coherent statement. This is because sociologists want to be considered scientists, so they spend most of their time translating simple, obvious observations into scientific-sounding code. If you plan to major in sociology, you'll have to learn to do the same thing. For example, suppose you have observed that children cry when they fall down. You should write: "Methodological observation of the sociometrical behavior tendencies of prematurated isolates indicates that a causal relationship exists between groundward tropism and lachrimatory behavior forms." If you can keep this up for 50 or 60 pages, you will get a large government grant. ---- If I were a blue spider, I would certainly ride on a train all the way from Avallon to Paris, and I would set up my house on the nose of a chocolate penguin.

More is more. More is better. And twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad.

Escher (1898-1972) ---- Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.<br> If you aren't in over your head, how do you know how tall you are?<br> -- T.S. Elliot ---- My father (a lawyer) told me that company culture is driven from the top -- if it's the people who make the product, you're good; sell the product, you're OK. If the accountants take over, look for another job, and if the lawyers take over, run as fast as you can the other way.<br> -- Alden Hart ---- War will exist until that distant day when the conscientious objector enjoys the same reputation and prestige that the warrior does today. <br> -- John F. Kennedy ---- Let us not despair but act. Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past - let us accept our own responsibility for the future.<br> -- John F. Kennedy ---- == Science == &hellip; It is our responsibility as scientists, knowing the great progress which comes from a '''satisfactory philosophy of ignorance''', the great progress which is the fruit of freedom of thought, to proclaim the value of this freedom; to teach how doubt is not to be feared but welcomed and discussed; and to demand this freedom as our duty to all coming generations.<br> -- Richard Feynman ---- We're made of star-stuff. We are a way for the cosmos to know itself.<br> -- Carl Sagan ---- In general we look for a new law by the following process. First we guess it. Then we compute the consequences of the guess to see what would be implied if this law that we guessed is right. Then we compare the result of the computation to nature, with experiment or experience, compare it directly with observation, to see if it works. If it disagrees with experiment it is wrong. In that simple statement is the key to science. It does not make any difference how beautiful your guess is. It does not make any difference how smart you are, who made the guess, or what his name is – if it disagrees with experiment it is wrong. That is all there is to it.<br> -- Richard Feynman ---- == Latin == ; Sed quis custodiet ipsos custodes? : Who watches the watchmen? ---- ; Ubi dubium ibi libertas : Where there is doubt there is freedom. ---- ; Ita erat quando hic adveni : It was that way when I got here. ---- == Religion == Religious bondage shackles and debilitates the mind and unfits it for every noble enterprise, every expanded prospect.<br> -- James Madison ---- Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?<br> Then he is not omnipotent.<br> Is he able, but not willing?<br> Then he is malevolent.<br> Is he both able and willing?<br> Then whence cometh evil?<br> Is he neither able nor willing?<br> Then why call him God?<br> -- Often attributed to Epicurus (341 BC – 270 BC), but disputed ---- I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.<br> -- Galileo Galilei ---- I contend that we are both atheists.

A "morally aligned" elite consisting of people who want to change everyone else's world to be like their own. See "Wrong Answer, The". ---- A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.<br> -- Albert Einstein ---- As long as you pray to God and ask him for some benefit, you are not a religious man.<br> -- Albert Einstein ---- Whatever there is of God and goodness in the universe, it must work itself out and express itself through us. We cannot stand aside and let God do it.<br> -- Albert Einstein ---- To assume the existence of an unperceivable being ... does not facilitate understanding the orderliness we find in the perceivable world.<br> -- Albert Einstein ---- The difference between a cult and an established religion is sometimes about one generation.<br> -- Scott McLemee ---- Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.<br> -- Steven Weinberg ---- The concept of God is insulting and degrading to man -- it implies that the highest possible is not to be reached by man, that he is an inferior being who can only worship an ideal he will never achieve.<br> -- Ayn Rand ---- The greatest tragedy in mankind's entire history may be the hijacking of morality by religion.<br> -- Arthur C. Clarke ---- We are all without god – some of us just happen to be aware of it.<br> -- Monica Salcedo ---- Yes, I suppose it's odd that atheists sometimes say Jesus and Oh My God. But odder than the religious saying "let's be reasonable"?<br> -- Hugh Laurie, via Twitter, 2014-09-10 ---- It’s a strange myth that atheists have nothing to live for. It’s the opposite. We have nothing to die for. We have everything to live for.<br> -- Ricky Gervais == Computers == The process of preparing programs for a digital computer is especially attractive, not only because it can be economically and scientifically rewarding, but also because it can be an aesthetic experience much like composing poetry or music.<br> -- Donald Knuth ---- Because user errors often produce unpredictable results, the user should try to avoid them.<br> --IBM MVS/XA System Programming Library ---- ...and then we wrote scripts to write the configs for us, and using these scripts, we made mistakes in a faster, more automated manner.<br> -- 'A Gentle Introduction to Cricket', on MRTG configuration ---- Micro Credo: Never trust a computer bigger than you can lift. ---- Anything that can be done in O(N) can be done in O(N^2).<br> -- Ralf Schuettau (after looking at a particular piece of code) ---- 101 reasons why you can't find your Sysadmin:<br> 68: It's 9AM.

The last drop was almost vertical landing on the toothbrush end. Being relatively expensive, I took a shot at repairing it. == Disassembly == There are plenty of articles and youtube videos describing disassembly. What ended up working for me without scoring the housing too much was to wrap the bottom end in thick cardboard, and repeatedly gently squeezing the housing just above the end with multi-grips, rotating 90° each time, until the end cap began to pop out. Then using a small flat screwdriver to prise the cap out. As described in the videos, prise the tabs holding the mechanism with a small flat screwdriver, and slide the mechanism out. == Repair == The mechanical part of the toothbrush comprises a pair of electromagnetic coils, and just above, a permanent magnet attached to a coupling, and finally to the output shaft. The issue in this case was that the electromagnet had moved too close to the permanent magnet. In order to vibrate, there must be a gap between the electromagnet and the permanent magnet.

After loosening the screw, use two small flat screwdrivers to wedge in between the electromagnet and permanent magnet. Ideally, the gap should be fairly small, less than 1mm.

As well as these, I was introduced to skiing at an early age, with my parents both being ski instructors at various times. Although during high school, downhill skiing wasn't quite in the budget, so I enjoyed some cross-country skiing (traditional, not skating).

Also, I'm a part time hobbyist programmer in a variety of languages, my current choices being C, Perl, Objective-C, C++ and Java, probably in that order, although as in my [[Résumé]], I've touched a great deal more over the years.

My workaround was to force NetFlix to IPv4, via simply blocking the IPv6 addresses via an npf rule, noting that <code>anycast.ftl.netflix.com.</code> has two AAAA records: <syntaxhighlight> block in final on alc0 proto tcp to 2a00:86c0:2040::1 port 443 block in final on alc0 proto tcp to 2a00:86c0:2041::1 port 443 </syntaxhighlight> [[Category:Stix's Blog]] abb988f0d97ebb90d1ffb2334f8025bb93cbfe0a 0 1737 3366 2019-10-20T10:51:22Z Stix 2 Created page with "== Disk EDTASM == <syntaxhighlight> DISK EDTASM+ 01.00.00 COPYRIGHT (C) 1983 BY MICROSOFT </syntaxhighlight> : Load offset: $1600 : Exec address: $1600 : Length: $3480 == D..." wikitext text/x-wiki == Disk EDTASM == <syntaxhighlight> DISK EDTASM+ 01.00.00 COPYRIGHT (C) 1983 BY MICROSOFT </syntaxhighlight> : Load offset: $1600 : Exec address: $1600 : Length: $3480 == Disk EDTASM+ Overlay == <syntaxhighlight> DISK EDTASM+ 01.00.00 (OVRLAY) COPYRIGHT (C) 1983 BY MICROSOFT </syntaxhighlight> : Load offset: $1600 : Exec address: $1600 : Length: $3b80 == EDTASMD+ == <syntaxhighlight> SUPER PATCHED EDTASM+ 1.0 BY MICROSOFT </syntaxhighlight> : Load offset: $E00 : Exec address: $E00 : Length: $2A00 == /BIN file format == === Preamble/Postamble === To support overlays, multiple blocks are supported, with a final postamble. {| class="wikitable" !Byte !Preamble !Postamble |- |0||00 preamble flag||$ff postamble flag |- |1,2||Length of data block||Two zero bytes |- |3,4||Load address||EXEC address |} <syntaxhighlight> 00010 ORG $4000 00020 BEGIN JMP START 00030 FDB END-BEGIN 00040 START … … 00080 END EQU * 00090 END BEGIN </syntaxhighlight> [[Category:CoCo]] e45a4e6252dd60bc8035ce3b9620af8bcfaee0ef 14 1738 3367 2019-10-20T10:52:00Z Stix 2 Created page with "Pages relating to the Tandy Color Computer (CoCo)" wikitext text/x-wiki Pages relating to the Tandy Color Computer (CoCo) c16dcc3c7dfbabb598c6734dec1b9e02dcaa8ca4 0 1739 3368 2019-11-01T09:05:42Z Stix 2 Created page with "Runs the 32-bit evbarm earmv7hf port of NetBSD. == Installing == NetBSD developer Jared McNeill provides pre-built images for many ARM devices [https://www.invisible.ca/arm/..." wikitext text/x-wiki Runs the 32-bit evbarm earmv7hf port of NetBSD. == Installing == NetBSD developer Jared McNeill provides pre-built images for many ARM devices [https://www.invisible.ca/arm/ here]. == Upgrading == <syntaxhighlight lang="text"> cp /mnt/release/evbarm-earmv7hf/binary/kernel/netbsd-GENERIC.ub.gz /tmp gzip -d /tmp/netbsd-GENERIC.ub.gz mv /tmp/netbsd-GENERIC.ub /boot cp /mnt/release/evbarm-earmv7hf/binary/kernel/netbsd-GENERIC.img.gz /tmp gzip -d /tmp/netbsd-GENERIC.img.gz mv /tmp/netbsd-GENERIC.img /boot/kernel7.img cp /mnt/release/evbarm-earmv7hf/binary/kernel/netbsd-GENERIC.img.gz /tmp gzip -d /tmp/netbsd-GENERIC.img.gz mv /tmp/netbsd-GENERIC.img /boot/kernel7.img cp /mnt/release/evbarm-earmv7hf/binary/kernel/netbsd-GENERIC.gz /tmp gzip -d /tmp/netbsd-GENERIC.gz mv /tmp/netbsd-GENERIC /netbsd </syntaxhighlight> == Device support == * Wifi is unsupported (as of 2019-11-01). == See also == * [http://www.orangepi.org/orangepizero/ Orange Pi Zero]. * [http://wiki.netbsd.org/ports/evbarm/ NetBSD evbarm port]. * [https://wiki.netbsd.org/ports/evbarm/allwinner/ NetBSD evbarm allwinner] port details. 6e5385bf19414d859e3a7db1405fe6ad8a7f964d 3507 3368 2020-02-17T11:13:44Z Stix 2 Add category wikitext text/x-wiki Runs the 32-bit evbarm earmv7hf port of NetBSD. == Installing == NetBSD developer Jared McNeill provides pre-built images for many ARM devices [https://www.invisible.ca/arm/ here]. == Upgrading == <syntaxhighlight lang="text"> cp /mnt/release/evbarm-earmv7hf/binary/kernel/netbsd-GENERIC.ub.gz /tmp gzip -d /tmp/netbsd-GENERIC.ub.gz mv /tmp/netbsd-GENERIC.ub /boot cp /mnt/release/evbarm-earmv7hf/binary/kernel/netbsd-GENERIC.img.gz /tmp gzip -d /tmp/netbsd-GENERIC.img.gz mv /tmp/netbsd-GENERIC.img /boot/kernel7.img cp /mnt/release/evbarm-earmv7hf/binary/kernel/netbsd-GENERIC.img.gz /tmp gzip -d /tmp/netbsd-GENERIC.img.gz mv /tmp/netbsd-GENERIC.img /boot/kernel7.img cp /mnt/release/evbarm-earmv7hf/binary/kernel/netbsd-GENERIC.gz /tmp gzip -d /tmp/netbsd-GENERIC.gz mv /tmp/netbsd-GENERIC /netbsd </syntaxhighlight> == Device support == * Wifi is unsupported (as of 2019-11-01). == See also == * [http://www.orangepi.org/orangepizero/ Orange Pi Zero]. * [http://wiki.netbsd.org/ports/evbarm/ NetBSD evbarm port]. * [https://wiki.netbsd.org/ports/evbarm/allwinner/ NetBSD evbarm allwinner] port details.

All these are in use in various parts of our world, and can make life on the internet confusing, at the least. The "MM/DD/YY" format is common in U.S.A., here in Australia and in the UK the format "DD/MM/YY" is widely used. And in Europe and parts of Asia, "YY/MM/DD" is in common use. So what can be done? Simple, follow the standard: ISO 8601:1988 - International Date Format. For dates, this standard recommends the following format: <center>'''YYYY-MM-DD'''</center> This format has a few advantages: # It is unambiguous. A useful trait, one would think. # It has a consistent length. # It may be easily sorted (for those UNIX geeks, think <tt>sort</tt>(1)). # It is recognised by far more people world wide than any other format. # It is consistent with common time formats (HH:MM:SS), that is, most significant units come first. # It is a '''standard''', from the [http://www.iso.ch/ International Organisation for Standardisation].

These are reserved undefined instructions that generate an invalid opcode exception when executed, resulting in a SIGILL (illegal instruction signal) on Unix-like operating systems. These can be generated by Clang/LLVM (and gcc) when compiling with flags like <code>-fsanitize=undefined -fsanitize-trap=all</code>. For example, a range check is introduced when doing casts that might result in undefined behavior: <syntaxhighlight lang="c++"> #include <cstdint> int64_t fubar(double d) { return static_cast<int64_t>(d); } </syntaxhighlight> Results in the following sequence: <syntaxhighlight lang="asm"> .LCPI0_0: .quad -4332462841530417151 # double -9.2233720368547778E+18 .LCPI0_1: .quad 4890909195324358656 # double 9.2233720368547758E+18 .text .globl _Z5fubard .p2align 4, 0x90 .type _Z5fubard,@function _Z5fubard: # @_Z5fubard .cfi_startproc .long 846595819 # 0x327606eb .long .L__unnamed_1-_Z5fubard # %bb.0: ucomisd .LCPI0_0(%rip), %xmm0 jbe .LBB0_2 # %bb.1: movsd .LCPI0_1(%rip), %xmm1 # xmm1 = mem[0],zero ucomisd %xmm0, %xmm1 jbe .LBB0_2 # %bb.3: cvttsd2si %xmm0, %rax retq .LBB0_2: ud2 </syntaxhighlight> The UD2 instruction is invoked if the double is outside of the bounds of a signed int64. == See Also == * [https://www.felixcloutier.com/x86/ud x86 UD Undefined Instruction]. * [https://clang.llvm.org/docs/UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer.html Clang UNDEFINEDBEHAVIORSANITIZER].

The danger is profound and terrible; it cannot be waved aside with easy optimism. '''The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt'''. Even those of the intelligent who believe that they have a nostrum are too individualistic to combine with other intelligent men from whom they differ on minor points. This was not always the case.<br> -- "The Triumph of Stupidity" (1933-05-10) in Mortals and Others: Bertrand Russell's American Essays, 1931-1935 (Routledge, 1998, ISBN 0-415-17866-5), p. 28 ---- It has often and confidently been asserted, that man's origin can never be known: '''but ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge''': it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science.<br> -- "The Descent of Man" (1871), Charles Darwin, Introduction, p. 4. ---- Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.<br> -- Albert Einstein ---- Science literacy is a vaccine against the charlatans of the world that would exploit your ignorance.<br> -- Neil deGrasse Tyson ---- Some people have a mental horizon of radius zero, and call it their point of view.<br> -- David Hilbert ---- The more complex the mind, the greater the need for the simplicity of play.<br> -- Captain Kirk, "Shore Leave" ---- When you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to reform.<br> -- Mark Twain ---- Is this *idiocy*?

It isn't her's. It isn't our's either. It's ours, and likewise it's theirs and yours. ---- SOCIOLOGY: For sheer lack of intelligibility, sociology is far and away the number one subject. I sat through hundreds of hours of sociology courses, and read gobs of sociology writing, and I never once heard or read a coherent statement. This is because sociologists want to be considered scientists, so they spend most of their time translating simple, obvious observations into scientific-sounding code. If you plan to major in sociology, you'll have to learn to do the same thing. For example, suppose you have observed that children cry when they fall down. You should write: "Methodological observation of the sociometrical behavior tendencies of prematurated isolates indicates that a causal relationship exists between groundward tropism and lachrimatory behavior forms." If you can keep this up for 50 or 60 pages, you will get a large government grant. ---- If I were a blue spider, I would certainly ride on a train all the way from Avallon to Paris, and I would set up my house on the nose of a chocolate penguin.

We are all formed of frailty and error; let us pardon reciprocally each other's folly -- that is the first law of nature.<br> -- Voltaire ---- In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice.<br> But, in practice, there is.<br> -- Yogi Berra ---- I think...I think it's in my basement.

Escher (1898-1972) ---- Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.<br> If you aren't in over your head, how do you know how tall you are?<br> -- T.S. Elliot ---- My father (a lawyer) told me that company culture is driven from the top -- if it's the people who make the product, you're good; sell the product, you're OK. If the accountants take over, look for another job, and if the lawyers take over, run as fast as you can the other way.<br> -- Alden Hart ---- War will exist until that distant day when the conscientious objector enjoys the same reputation and prestige that the warrior does today. <br> -- John F. Kennedy ---- Let us not despair but act. Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past - let us accept our own responsibility for the future.<br> -- John F. Kennedy ---- I used to be indecisive but now I am not quite sure.<br> -- Tommy Cooper ---- == Science == &hellip; It is our responsibility as scientists, knowing the great progress which comes from a '''satisfactory philosophy of ignorance''', the great progress which is the fruit of freedom of thought, to proclaim the value of this freedom; to teach how doubt is not to be feared but welcomed and discussed; and to demand this freedom as our duty to all coming generations.<br> -- Richard Feynman ---- We're made of star-stuff. We are a way for the cosmos to know itself.<br> -- Carl Sagan ---- In general we look for a new law by the following process. First we guess it. Then we compute the consequences of the guess to see what would be implied if this law that we guessed is right. Then we compare the result of the computation to nature, with experiment or experience, compare it directly with observation, to see if it works. If it disagrees with experiment it is wrong. In that simple statement is the key to science. It does not make any difference how beautiful your guess is. It does not make any difference how smart you are, who made the guess, or what his name is – if it disagrees with experiment it is wrong. That is all there is to it.<br> -- Richard Feynman ---- == Politics == Remember, the Republican plan: "Don’t get sick. And if you do get sick, die quickly."<br> -- Alan Grayson, 2009 == Latin == ; Sed quis custodiet ipsos custodes? : Who watches the watchmen? ---- ; Ubi dubium ibi libertas : Where there is doubt there is freedom. ---- ; Ita erat quando hic adveni : It was that way when I got here. ---- == Religion == Religious bondage shackles and debilitates the mind and unfits it for every noble enterprise, every expanded prospect.<br> -- James Madison ---- Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?<br> Then he is not omnipotent.<br> Is he able, but not willing?<br> Then he is malevolent.<br> Is he both able and willing?<br> Then whence cometh evil?<br> Is he neither able nor willing?<br> Then why call him God?<br> -- Often attributed to Epicurus (341 BC – 270 BC), but disputed ---- I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.<br> -- Galileo Galilei ---- I contend that we are both atheists.

Roberts ---- The various modes of worship which prevailed in the Roman world were all considered by the people as equally true; by the philosopher as equally false; and by the magistrate as equally useful.<br> -- Edward Gibbon, 1776 ---- Organised Religion (OR g@ nizd re LIJ @n) n. A "morally aligned" elite consisting of people who want to change everyone else's world to be like their own. See "Wrong Answer, The". ---- A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.<br> -- Albert Einstein ---- As long as you pray to God and ask him for some benefit, you are not a religious man.<br> -- Albert Einstein ---- Whatever there is of God and goodness in the universe, it must work itself out and express itself through us. We cannot stand aside and let God do it.<br> -- Albert Einstein ---- To assume the existence of an unperceivable being ... does not facilitate understanding the orderliness we find in the perceivable world.<br> -- Albert Einstein ---- The difference between a cult and an established religion is sometimes about one generation.<br> -- Scott McLemee ---- Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.<br> -- Steven Weinberg ---- The concept of God is insulting and degrading to man -- it implies that the highest possible is not to be reached by man, that he is an inferior being who can only worship an ideal he will never achieve.<br> -- Ayn Rand ---- The greatest tragedy in mankind's entire history may be the hijacking of morality by religion.<br> -- Arthur C. Clarke ---- We are all without god – some of us just happen to be aware of it.<br> -- Monica Salcedo ---- Yes, I suppose it's odd that atheists sometimes say Jesus and Oh My God. But odder than the religious saying "let's be reasonable"?<br> -- Hugh Laurie, via Twitter, 2014-09-10 ---- It’s a strange myth that atheists have nothing to live for. It’s the opposite. We have nothing to die for. We have everything to live for.<br> -- Ricky Gervais == Computers == The process of preparing programs for a digital computer is especially attractive, not only because it can be economically and scientifically rewarding, but also because it can be an aesthetic experience much like composing poetry or music.<br> -- Donald Knuth ---- Because user errors often produce unpredictable results, the user should try to avoid them.<br> --IBM MVS/XA System Programming Library ---- ...and then we wrote scripts to write the configs for us, and using these scripts, we made mistakes in a faster, more automated manner.<br> -- 'A Gentle Introduction to Cricket', on MRTG configuration ---- Micro Credo: Never trust a computer bigger than you can lift. ---- Anything that can be done in O(N) can be done in O(N^2).<br> -- Ralf Schuettau (after looking at a particular piece of code) ---- 101 reasons why you can't find your Sysadmin:<br> 68: It's 9AM.

The danger is profound and terrible; it cannot be waved aside with easy optimism. '''The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt'''. Even those of the intelligent who believe that they have a nostrum are too individualistic to combine with other intelligent men from whom they differ on minor points.

I sat through hundreds of hours of sociology courses, and read gobs of sociology writing, and I never once heard or read a coherent statement. This is because sociologists want to be considered scientists, so they spend most of their time translating simple, obvious observations into scientific-sounding code. If you plan to major in sociology, you'll have to learn to do the same thing. For example, suppose you have observed that children cry when they fall down. You should write: "Methodological observation of the sociometrical behavior tendencies of prematurated isolates indicates that a causal relationship exists between groundward tropism and lachrimatory behavior forms." If you can keep this up for 50 or 60 pages, you will get a large government grant. ---- If I were a blue spider, I would certainly ride on a train all the way from Avallon to Paris, and I would set up my house on the nose of a chocolate penguin.

Escher (1898-1972) ---- Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.<br> If you aren't in over your head, how do you know how tall you are?<br> -- T.S. Elliot ---- My father (a lawyer) told me that company culture is driven from the top -- if it's the people who make the product, you're good; sell the product, you're OK. If the accountants take over, look for another job, and if the lawyers take over, run as fast as you can the other way.<br> -- Alden Hart ---- War will exist until that distant day when the conscientious objector enjoys the same reputation and prestige that the warrior does today. <br> -- John F. Kennedy ---- Let us not despair but act. Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past - let us accept our own responsibility for the future.<br> -- John F. Kennedy ---- I used to be indecisive but now I am not quite sure.<br> -- Tommy Cooper ---- == Science == &hellip; It is our responsibility as scientists, knowing the great progress which comes from a '''satisfactory philosophy of ignorance''', the great progress which is the fruit of freedom of thought, to proclaim the value of this freedom; to teach how doubt is not to be feared but welcomed and discussed; and to demand this freedom as our duty to all coming generations.<br> -- Richard Feynman ---- We're made of star-stuff. We are a way for the cosmos to know itself.<br> -- Carl Sagan ---- In general we look for a new law by the following process. First we guess it. Then we compute the consequences of the guess to see what would be implied if this law that we guessed is right. Then we compare the result of the computation to nature, with experiment or experience, compare it directly with observation, to see if it works. If it disagrees with experiment it is wrong. In that simple statement is the key to science. It does not make any difference how beautiful your guess is. It does not make any difference how smart you are, who made the guess, or what his name is – if it disagrees with experiment it is wrong. That is all there is to it.<br> -- Richard Feynman ---- == Politics == Remember, the Republican plan: "Don’t get sick.

I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.<br> -- Stephen F. Roberts ---- The various modes of worship which prevailed in the Roman world were all considered by the people as equally true; by the philosopher as equally false; and by the magistrate as equally useful.<br> -- Edward Gibbon, 1776 ---- Organised Religion (OR g@ nizd re LIJ @n) n. A "morally aligned" elite consisting of people who want to change everyone else's world to be like their own. See "Wrong Answer, The". ---- A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.<br> -- Albert Einstein ---- As long as you pray to God and ask him for some benefit, you are not a religious man.<br> -- Albert Einstein ---- Whatever there is of God and goodness in the universe, it must work itself out and express itself through us. We cannot stand aside and let God do it.<br> -- Albert Einstein ---- To assume the existence of an unperceivable being ... does not facilitate understanding the orderliness we find in the perceivable world.<br> -- Albert Einstein ---- The difference between a cult and an established religion is sometimes about one generation.<br> -- Scott McLemee ---- Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.<br> -- Steven Weinberg ---- The concept of God is insulting and degrading to man -- it implies that the highest possible is not to be reached by man, that he is an inferior being who can only worship an ideal he will never achieve.<br> -- Ayn Rand ---- The greatest tragedy in mankind's entire history may be the hijacking of morality by religion.<br> -- Arthur C. Clarke ---- We are all without god – some of us just happen to be aware of it.<br> -- Monica Salcedo ---- Yes, I suppose it's odd that atheists sometimes say Jesus and Oh My God. But odder than the religious saying "let's be reasonable"?<br> -- Hugh Laurie, via Twitter, 2014-09-10 ---- It’s a strange myth that atheists have nothing to live for. It’s the opposite. We have nothing to die for. We have everything to live for.<br> -- Ricky Gervais == Computers == The process of preparing programs for a digital computer is especially attractive, not only because it can be economically and scientifically rewarding, but also because it can be an aesthetic experience much like composing poetry or music.<br> -- Donald Knuth ---- Because user errors often produce unpredictable results, the user should try to avoid them.<br> --IBM MVS/XA System Programming Library ---- ...and then we wrote scripts to write the configs for us, and using these scripts, we made mistakes in a faster, more automated manner.<br> -- 'A Gentle Introduction to Cricket', on MRTG configuration ---- Micro Credo: Never trust a computer bigger than you can lift. ---- Anything that can be done in O(N) can be done in O(N^2).<br> -- Ralf Schuettau (after looking at a particular piece of code) ---- 101 reasons why you can't find your Sysadmin:<br> 68: It's 9AM.

The danger is profound and terrible; it cannot be waved aside with easy optimism. '''The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt'''. Even those of the intelligent who believe that they have a nostrum are too individualistic to combine with other intelligent men from whom they differ on minor points.

It isn't her's. It isn't our's either. It's ours, and likewise it's theirs and yours. ---- SOCIOLOGY: For sheer lack of intelligibility, sociology is far and away the number one subject. I sat through hundreds of hours of sociology courses, and read gobs of sociology writing, and I never once heard or read a coherent statement. This is because sociologists want to be considered scientists, so they spend most of their time translating simple, obvious observations into scientific-sounding code. If you plan to major in sociology, you'll have to learn to do the same thing. For example, suppose you have observed that children cry when they fall down. You should write: "Methodological observation of the sociometrical behavior tendencies of prematurated isolates indicates that a causal relationship exists between groundward tropism and lachrimatory behavior forms." If you can keep this up for 50 or 60 pages, you will get a large government grant. ---- If I were a blue spider, I would certainly ride on a train all the way from Avallon to Paris, and I would set up my house on the nose of a chocolate penguin.

It's what you know for sure that just ain't so.<br> -- Mark Twain ---- If you're going to be passionate about something, be passionate about learning. If you're going to fight something, fight for those in need. If you're going to question something, question authority. If you're going to lose something, lose your inhibitions. If you're going to gain something, gain respect and confidence. And if you're going to hate something, hate the false idea that you are not capable of your dreams.<br> -- Daniel Golston ---- Tomorrow's illiterate will not be the man who can't read; he will be the man who has not learned how to learn.<br> -- Psychologist Herbert Gerjuoy as quoted by Alvin Toffler in Future Shock (1970), ch. 18. ---- Force plays a much larger part in the government of the world than it did before 1914, and what is especially alarming, force tends increasingly to fall into the hands of those who are enemies of civilization. The danger is profound and terrible; it cannot be waved aside with easy optimism. '''The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt'''. Even those of the intelligent who believe that they have a nostrum are too individualistic to combine with other intelligent men from whom they differ on minor points. This was not always the case.<br> -- "The Triumph of Stupidity" (1933-05-10) in Mortals and Others: Bertrand Russell's American Essays, 1931-1935 (Routledge, 1998, ISBN 0-415-17866-5), p. 28 ---- It has often and confidently been asserted, that man's origin can never be known: '''but ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge''': it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science.<br> -- "The Descent of Man" (1871), Charles Darwin, Introduction, p. 4. ---- Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.<br> -- Albert Einstein ---- Science literacy is a vaccine against the charlatans of the world that would exploit your ignorance.<br> -- Neil deGrasse Tyson ---- Some people have a mental horizon of radius zero, and call it their point of view.<br> -- David Hilbert ---- The more complex the mind, the greater the need for the simplicity of play.<br> -- Captain Kirk, "Shore Leave" ---- When you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to reform.<br> -- Mark Twain ---- Is this *idiocy*?

Perlis ---- People who think they know everything really annoy those of us who know we don't.<br> -- Bjarne Stroustrup ---- A sense of humor is a measurement of the extent to which we realize that we are trapped in a world almost totally devoid of reason. Laughter is how we express the anxiety we feel at this knowledge.<br> -- Dave Barry ---- I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.<br> -- Douglas Adams ---- It's is not, it isn't ain't, and it's it's, not its, if you mean it is. If you don't, it's its. Then too, it's hers. It isn't her's. It isn't our's either. It's ours, and likewise it's theirs and yours. ---- SOCIOLOGY: For sheer lack of intelligibility, sociology is far and away the number one subject. I sat through hundreds of hours of sociology courses, and read gobs of sociology writing, and I never once heard or read a coherent statement. This is because sociologists want to be considered scientists, so they spend most of their time translating simple, obvious observations into scientific-sounding code. If you plan to major in sociology, you'll have to learn to do the same thing. For example, suppose you have observed that children cry when they fall down. You should write: "Methodological observation of the sociometrical behavior tendencies of prematurated isolates indicates that a causal relationship exists between groundward tropism and lachrimatory behavior forms." If you can keep this up for 50 or 60 pages, you will get a large government grant. ---- If I were a blue spider, I would certainly ride on a train all the way from Avallon to Paris, and I would set up my house on the nose of a chocolate penguin. It's just a matter of common sense."<br> --James Wright, "Against Surrealism" ---- We now return our souls to the creator,<br> As we stand on the edge of eternal darkness.<br> Let our chant fill the void,<br> In order that others may know.<br> In the land of the night,<br> The ship of the sun is drawn by the grateful dead.<br> --Egyptian Book of the Dead ---- It is better wither to be silent,<br> :or to say things of more value than silence.<br> Sooner throw a pearl at hazard than an idle or useless word;<br> :and do not say a little in many words,<br> :but a great deal in a few.<br> -- Pythagoras ---- "Always ... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better. And twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad. And too much is never enough except when it's just about right."<br> -- The Tick ---- UFO's are for real: the Air Force doesn't exist. ---- "In the drowsy dark cave of the mind dreams<br> build their nest with fragments dropped from day's caravan."<br> -- Rabindranath Tagore ---- I have made this letter longer than usual because I lack the time to make it shorter.<br> -- Blaise Pascal ---- WARNING: Suffering attention deficit disorder and I'm not afraid to spread it. Now stand back or I'll.. mmm cheesecake<br> -- Homer Simpson ---- Support mental health or I'll kill you. ---- "I went into a general store, and they wouldn't sell me anything specific".<br> -- Steven Wright ---- Reality is what, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.<br> -- Philip K. Dick ---- Reality is a crutch for people who can't cope with drugs.<br> -- Lily Tomlin ---- Failure is not an option. It is a privilege reserved for those who try. ---- Failure? I never encountered it.

We are all formed of frailty and error; let us pardon reciprocally each other's folly -- that is the first law of nature.<br> -- Voltaire ---- In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice.<br> But, in practice, there is.<br> -- Yogi Berra ---- I think...I think it's in my basement. Let me go upstairs and check.<br> -- M.C. Escher (1898-1972) ---- Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.<br> If you aren't in over your head, how do you know how tall you are?<br> -- T.S. Elliot ---- My father (a lawyer) told me that company culture is driven from the top -- if it's the people who make the product, you're good; sell the product, you're OK. If the accountants take over, look for another job, and if the lawyers take over, run as fast as you can the other way.<br> -- Alden Hart ---- War will exist until that distant day when the conscientious objector enjoys the same reputation and prestige that the warrior does today. <br> -- John F. Kennedy ---- Let us not despair but act. Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past - let us accept our own responsibility for the future.<br> -- John F. Kennedy ---- I used to be indecisive but now I am not quite sure.<br> -- Tommy Cooper ---- == Science == &hellip; It is our responsibility as scientists, knowing the great progress which comes from a '''satisfactory philosophy of ignorance''', the great progress which is the fruit of freedom of thought, to proclaim the value of this freedom; to teach how doubt is not to be feared but welcomed and discussed; and to demand this freedom as our duty to all coming generations.<br> -- Richard Feynman ---- We're made of star-stuff. We are a way for the cosmos to know itself.<br> -- Carl Sagan ---- In general we look for a new law by the following process. First we guess it. Then we compute the consequences of the guess to see what would be implied if this law that we guessed is right. Then we compare the result of the computation to nature, with experiment or experience, compare it directly with observation, to see if it works. If it disagrees with experiment it is wrong. In that simple statement is the key to science. It does not make any difference how beautiful your guess is. It does not make any difference how smart you are, who made the guess, or what his name is – if it disagrees with experiment it is wrong. That is all there is to it.<br> -- Richard Feynman ---- What counts is not what sounds plausible, not what we would like to believe, not what one or two witnesses claim, but only what is supported by hard evidence rigorously and sceptically examined. '''Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence'''.<br> -- Carl Sagan ---- Forgotten were the elementary rules of logic, that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence and that '''what can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence'''.<br> -- Christopher Hitchens ---- == Politics == Remember, the Republican plan: "Don’t get sick. And if you do get sick, die quickly."<br> -- Alan Grayson, 2009 When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.<br> -- James Waterman Wise == Latin == ; Sed quis custodiet ipsos custodes? : Who watches the watchmen? ---- ; Ubi dubium ibi libertas : Where there is doubt there is freedom. ---- ; Ita erat quando hic adveni : It was that way when I got here. ---- == Religion == Religious bondage shackles and debilitates the mind and unfits it for every noble enterprise, every expanded prospect.<br> -- James Madison ---- Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?<br> Then he is not omnipotent.<br> Is he able, but not willing?<br> Then he is malevolent.<br> Is he both able and willing?<br> Then whence cometh evil?<br> Is he neither able nor willing?<br> Then why call him God?<br> -- Often attributed to Epicurus (341 BC – 270 BC), but disputed ---- I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.<br> -- Galileo Galilei ---- I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.<br> -- Stephen F. Roberts ---- The various modes of worship which prevailed in the Roman world were all considered by the people as equally true; by the philosopher as equally false; and by the magistrate as equally useful.<br> -- Edward Gibbon, 1776 ---- Organised Religion (OR g@ nizd re LIJ @n) n. A "morally aligned" elite consisting of people who want to change everyone else's world to be like their own. See "Wrong Answer, The". ---- A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.<br> -- Albert Einstein ---- As long as you pray to God and ask him for some benefit, you are not a religious man.<br> -- Albert Einstein ---- Whatever there is of God and goodness in the universe, it must work itself out and express itself through us. We cannot stand aside and let God do it.<br> -- Albert Einstein ---- To assume the existence of an unperceivable being ... does not facilitate understanding the orderliness we find in the perceivable world.<br> -- Albert Einstein ---- The difference between a cult and an established religion is sometimes about one generation.<br> -- Scott McLemee ---- Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.<br> -- Steven Weinberg ---- The concept of God is insulting and degrading to man -- it implies that the highest possible is not to be reached by man, that he is an inferior being who can only worship an ideal he will never achieve.<br> -- Ayn Rand ---- The greatest tragedy in mankind's entire history may be the hijacking of morality by religion.<br> -- Arthur C. Clarke ---- We are all without god – some of us just happen to be aware of it.<br> -- Monica Salcedo ---- Yes, I suppose it's odd that atheists sometimes say Jesus and Oh My God. But odder than the religious saying "let's be reasonable"?<br> -- Hugh Laurie, via Twitter, 2014-09-10 ---- It’s a strange myth that atheists have nothing to live for. It’s the opposite. We have nothing to die for. We have everything to live for.<br> -- Ricky Gervais ---- »Glaube« heißt Nicht-wissen-wollen - "Faith" means not wanting to know.<br> -- Friedrich Nietzsche ---- There are those who scoff at the schoolboy, calling him frivolous and shallow: Yet it was the schoolboy who said "Faith is believing what you know ain't so."<br> -- Mark Twain == Computers == The process of preparing programs for a digital computer is especially attractive, not only because it can be economically and scientifically rewarding, but also because it can be an aesthetic experience much like composing poetry or music.<br> -- Donald Knuth ---- Because user errors often produce unpredictable results, the user should try to avoid them.<br> --IBM MVS/XA System Programming Library ---- ...and then we wrote scripts to write the configs for us, and using these scripts, we made mistakes in a faster, more automated manner.<br> -- 'A Gentle Introduction to Cricket', on MRTG configuration ---- Micro Credo: Never trust a computer bigger than you can lift. ---- Anything that can be done in O(N) can be done in O(N^2).<br> -- Ralf Schuettau (after looking at a particular piece of code) ---- 101 reasons why you can't find your Sysadmin:<br> 68: It's 9AM.

Turns out, it's a common problem. The amp had survived at least one large power surge (an 11kV line on the power pole outside the block of units had dropped down onto the 415V lines - blew the power board off the wall on a neighbouring block!) and probably copped another one during a lightning storm. After that, the amp failed to power on - no relay clicks, no front display, not much of anything. Opening it up, I found that there was no power going to the main large transformer, and so no power going to the power button. A bit of searching around, and it's pretty well documented, as described in this video: [http://youtu.be/MwvjAtSr5t8 EEVBlog #379 - Yamaha RX-V557 Receiver Fix] That was it - I unsoldered C405, which was supposed to be a 22nF metalized polyester film greencap capacitor, and measured it - 1.5nF. Quick trip to Jaycar and bought a 22nF 630V capacitor, measured it (yep, 22nF) soldered it in, and works perfectly. == See Also == * [https://sterlingit.com.au/yamaha-amp-no-power-and-not-powering-on-rx-v3800-rx0v1900-and-many-other-models/ How to fix Yamaha AMP no power and not powering on …].

programmed with the allowed UHF CB channels, the legality of these radios is still '''highly''' questionable, ie. they are not approved for use in Australia. See [http://www.typeapproved.com.au/ Type Approved] for lists of radios and their approval status. You have been warned. Bought a couple of these cheap 'Baofeng/Pofung BF-888S' (aka HST H-777) radios from eBay. What arrived was branded "SYNiC 888S", with a reported frequency range from 400 MHz to 470 MHz, which doesn't include the Australian UHF Citizen Band (CB) of 476.4125 to 477.4125 MHz inclusive. Both are likely based on the same 'BEKEN BK4810' radio chip, which may have a frequency range as large as 134 - 490 MHz if the BK4813 specifications match the BK4810. Trying to program them with [https://chirp.danplanet.com/ CHIRP], it rejected any frequencies outside the allowed range. YouTube videos recommended enabling developer mode and editing the channels via the advanced mode browser, which allows almost arbitrary values, however, a quick patch to CHIRP allowed expanding the allowed frequency range to include UHF CB. The below channel lists can also be used on their other radios, including UV-5R, UV-5Rv2+, UV-5RA, UV-5RE, UV-5R+. == CHIRP Patch for AU UHF CB on BF-888S == <syntaxhighlight lang="diff"> ---

They're not legal to use in Australia. wikitext text/x-wiki '''WARNING:''' Even if correctly programmed with the allowed UHF CB channels, these radios are '''not legal''' in Australia, ie. they are not approved for use. See [http://www.typeapproved.com.au/ Type Approved] for lists of radios and their approval status. You have been warned. Bought a couple of these cheap 'Baofeng/Pofung BF-888S' (aka HST H-777) radios from eBay. What arrived was branded "SYNiC 888S", with a reported frequency range from 400 MHz to 470 MHz, which doesn't include the Australian UHF Citizen Band (CB) of 476.4125 to 477.4125 MHz inclusive. Both are likely based on the same 'BEKEN BK4810' radio chip, which may have a frequency range as large as 134 - 490 MHz if the BK4813 specifications match the BK4810. Trying to program them with [https://chirp.danplanet.com/ CHIRP], it rejected any frequencies outside the allowed range. YouTube videos recommended enabling developer mode and editing the channels via the advanced mode browser, which allows almost arbitrary values, however, a quick patch to CHIRP allowed expanding the allowed frequency range to include UHF CB. The below channel lists can also be used on their other radios, including UV-5R, UV-5Rv2+, UV-5RA, UV-5RE, UV-5R+. == CHIRP Patch for AU UHF CB on BF-888S == <syntaxhighlight lang="diff"> ---

Details may be determined by examining the additional sense bytes and the INFORMATION field. When multiple recovered errors occur during one command, the choice of which error to report (e.g., first, last, most severe) is vendor specific. |- ! 0x02 || NOT READY | Indicates that the logical unit is not accessible.

This sense key may also be returned if the device server is unable to distinguish between a flaw in the medium and a specific hardware failure (i.e., sense key 4h). |- ! 0x04 || HARDWARE ERROR | Indicates that the device server detected a non-recoverable hardware failure (e.g., controller failure, device failure, or parity error) while performing the command or during a self test. |- ! 0x05 || ILLEGAL REQUEST | Indicates that: # The command was addressed to an incorrect logical unit number (see SAM-4); # The command had an invalid task attribute (see SAM-4); # The command was addressed to a logical unit whose current configuration prohibits processing the command; # There was an illegal parameter in the CDB; or # There was an illegal parameter in the additional parameters supplied as data for some commands (e.g., PERSISTENT RESERVE OUT). If the device server detects an invalid parameter in the CDB, it shall terminate the command without altering the medium. If the device server detects an invalid parameter in the additional parameters supplied as data, the device server may have already altered the medium. |- ! 0x06 || UNIT ATTENTION | Indicates that a unit attention condition has been established (e.g., the removable medium may have been changed, a logical unit reset occurred). See SAM-4. |- ! 0x07 || DATA PROTECT | Indicates that a command that reads or writes the medium was attempted on a block that is protected. The read or write operation is not performed. |- ! 0x08 || BLANK CHECK | Indicates that a write-once device or a sequential-access device encountered blank medium or format-defined end-of-data indication while reading or that a write-once device encountered a non-blank medium while writing. |- ! 0x09 || VENDOR SPECIFIC | This sense key is available for reporting vendor specific conditions. |- ! 0x0a || COPY ABORTED | Indicates an EXTENDED COPY command was aborted due to an error condition on the source device, the destination device, or both (see 6.3.3). |- ! 0x0b || ABORTED COMMAND | Indicates that the device server aborted the command. The application client may be able to recover by trying the command again. |- ! 0x0c || obsolete || |- ! 0x0d || VOLUME OVERFLOW | Indicates that a buffered SCSI device has reached the end-of-partition and data may remain in the buffer that has not been written to the medium.

Long Description |- ! 0x00 || NO SENSE | Indicates that there is no specific sense key information to be reported. This may occur for a successful command or for a command that receives CHECK CONDITION status because one of the FILEMARK, EOM, or ILI bits is set to one. |- ! 0x01 || RECOVERED ERROR | Indicates that the command completed successfully, with some recovery action performed by the device server. Details may be determined by examining the additional sense bytes and the INFORMATION field. When multiple recovered errors occur during one command, the choice of which error to report (e.g., first, last, most severe) is vendor specific. |- ! 0x02 || NOT READY | Indicates that the logical unit is not accessible. Operator intervention may be required to correct this condition. |- ! 0x03 || MEDIUM ERROR | Indicates that the command terminated with a non-recovered error condition that may have been caused by a flaw in the medium or an error in the recorded data. This sense key may also be returned if the device server is unable to distinguish between a flaw in the medium and a specific hardware failure (i.e., sense key 4h). |- ! 0x04 || HARDWARE ERROR | Indicates that the device server detected a non-recoverable hardware failure (e.g., controller failure, device failure, or parity error) while performing the command or during a self test. |- ! 0x05 || ILLEGAL REQUEST | Indicates that: # The command was addressed to an incorrect logical unit number (see SAM-4); # The command had an invalid task attribute (see SAM-4); # The command was addressed to a logical unit whose current configuration prohibits processing the command; # There was an illegal parameter in the CDB; or # There was an illegal parameter in the additional parameters supplied as data for some commands (e.g., PERSISTENT RESERVE OUT). If the device server detects an invalid parameter in the CDB, it shall terminate the command without altering the medium. If the device server detects an invalid parameter in the additional parameters supplied as data, the device server may have already altered the medium. |- ! 0x06 || UNIT ATTENTION | Indicates that a unit attention condition has been established (e.g., the removable medium may have been changed, a logical unit reset occurred). See SAM-4. |- ! 0x07 || DATA PROTECT | Indicates that a command that reads or writes the medium was attempted on a block that is protected. The read or write operation is not performed. |- ! 0x08 || BLANK CHECK | Indicates that a write-once device or a sequential-access device encountered blank medium or format-defined end-of-data indication while reading or that a write-once device encountered a non-blank medium while writing. |- ! 0x09 || VENDOR SPECIFIC | This sense key is available for reporting vendor specific conditions. |- ! 0x0a || COPY ABORTED | Indicates an EXTENDED COPY command was aborted due to an error condition on the source device, the destination device, or both (see 6.3.3). |- ! 0x0b || ABORTED COMMAND | Indicates that the device server aborted the command. The application client may be able to recover by trying the command again. |- ! 0x0c || obsolete || |- ! 0x0d || VOLUME OVERFLOW | Indicates that a buffered SCSI device has reached the end-of-partition and data may remain in the buffer that has not been written to the medium. One or more RECOVER BUFFERED DATA command(s) may be issued to read the unwritten data from the buffer. (See SSC-2.) |- ! 0x0e || MISCOMPARE | Indicates that the source data did not match the data read from the medium. |- ! 0x0f || reserved || |} == ASC and ASCQ == {| style="font-size:9pt" border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" align="center" width="100%" |+ ASC and ASCQ assignments ! rowspan="2" width="5%" | ASC ! rowspan="2" width="5%" | ASCQ ! colspan="13" width="15%" | Device Type ! rowspan="2" | Description |- !

Long Description |- ! 0x00 || NO SENSE | Indicates that there is no specific sense key information to be reported. This may occur for a successful command or for a command that receives CHECK CONDITION status because one of the FILEMARK, EOM, or ILI bits is set to one. |- ! 0x01 || RECOVERED ERROR | Indicates that the command completed successfully, with some recovery action performed by the device server. Details may be determined by examining the additional sense bytes and the INFORMATION field. When multiple recovered errors occur during one command, the choice of which error to report (e.g., first, last, most severe) is vendor specific. |- ! 0x02 || NOT READY | Indicates that the logical unit is not accessible. Operator intervention may be required to correct this condition. |- ! 0x03 || MEDIUM ERROR | Indicates that the command terminated with a non-recovered error condition that may have been caused by a flaw in the medium or an error in the recorded data. This sense key may also be returned if the device server is unable to distinguish between a flaw in the medium and a specific hardware failure (i.e., sense key 4h). |- ! 0x04 || HARDWARE ERROR | Indicates that the device server detected a non-recoverable hardware failure (e.g., controller failure, device failure, or parity error) while performing the command or during a self test. |- ! 0x05 || ILLEGAL REQUEST | Indicates that: # The command was addressed to an incorrect logical unit number (see SAM-4); # The command had an invalid task attribute (see SAM-4); # The command was addressed to a logical unit whose current configuration prohibits processing the command; # There was an illegal parameter in the CDB; or # There was an illegal parameter in the additional parameters supplied as data for some commands (e.g., PERSISTENT RESERVE OUT). If the device server detects an invalid parameter in the CDB, it shall terminate the command without altering the medium. If the device server detects an invalid parameter in the additional parameters supplied as data, the device server may have already altered the medium. |- ! 0x06 || UNIT ATTENTION | Indicates that a unit attention condition has been established (e.g., the removable medium may have been changed, a logical unit reset occurred). See SAM-4. |- ! 0x07 || DATA PROTECT | Indicates that a command that reads or writes the medium was attempted on a block that is protected. The read or write operation is not performed. |- ! 0x08 || BLANK CHECK | Indicates that a write-once device or a sequential-access device encountered blank medium or format-defined end-of-data indication while reading or that a write-once device encountered a non-blank medium while writing. |- ! 0x09 || VENDOR SPECIFIC | This sense key is available for reporting vendor specific conditions. |- ! 0x0a || COPY ABORTED | Indicates an EXTENDED COPY command was aborted due to an error condition on the source device, the destination device, or both (see 6.3.3). |- ! 0x0b || ABORTED COMMAND | Indicates that the device server aborted the command. The application client may be able to recover by trying the command again. |- ! 0x0c || obsolete || |- ! 0x0d || VOLUME OVERFLOW | Indicates that a buffered SCSI device has reached the end-of-partition and data may remain in the buffer that has not been written to the medium. One or more RECOVER BUFFERED DATA command(s) may be issued to read the unwritten data from the buffer. (See SSC-2.) |- ! 0x0e || MISCOMPARE | Indicates that the source data did not match the data read from the medium. |- ! 0x0f || reserved || |} == ASC and ASCQ == {| style="font-size:9pt" border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" align="center" width="100%" |+ ASC and ASCQ assignments ! rowspan="2" width="5%" | ASC ! rowspan="2" width="5%" | ASCQ ! colspan="13" width="15%" | Device Type ! rowspan="2" | Description |- !

Long Description |- ! 0x00 || NO SENSE | Indicates that there is no specific sense key information to be reported. This may occur for a successful command or for a command that is terminated with CHECK CONDITION status (e.g., as a result of the FILEMARK bit, EOM bit, or ILI bit being set to one). |- ! 0x01 || RECOVERED ERROR | Indicates that the command completed successfully, with some recovery action performed by the device server. Details may be determined by examining the sense data (e.g., the INFORMATION field). If multiple recovered errors occur during one command, the choice of which error to report (e.g., first, last, most severe) is vendor specific. |- ! 0x02 || NOT READY | Indicates that the logical unit is not accessible. Operator intervention may be required to correct this condition. |- ! 0x03 || MEDIUM ERROR | Indicates that the command terminated with a non-recovered error condition that may have been caused by a flaw in the medium or an error in the recorded data. This sense key may also be returned if the device server is unable to distinguish between a flaw in the medium and a specific hardware failure (i.e., sense key 4h). |- ! 0x04 || HARDWARE ERROR | Indicates that the device server detected a non-recoverable hardware failure (e.g., controller failure, device failure, or parity error) while performing the command or during a self test. |- ! 0x05 || ILLEGAL REQUEST | Indicates that: # the command was addressed to an incorrect logical unit number (see SAM-5); # the command had an invalid task attribute (see SAM-5); # the command was addressed to a logical unit whose current configuration prohibits processing the command; # there was an illegal parameter in the CDB; or # there was an illegal parameter in the additional parameters supplied as data for some commands (e.g., PERSISTENT RESERVE OUT). If the device server detects an invalid parameter in the CDB, the device server shall terminate the command without altering the medium. If the device server detects an invalid parameter in the additional parameters supplied as data, then the device server may have already altered the medium. |- ! 0x06 || UNIT ATTENTION | Indicates that a unit attention condition has been established (e.g., the removable medium may have been changed, a logical unit reset occurred). See SAM-5. |- ! 0x07 || DATA PROTECT | Indicates that the device server attempted to process a command that: # reads or writes a protected logical block; or # prepares a protected logical block for reading or writing. The read operation or write operation, if any, was not performed on that logical block. |- ! 0x08 || BLANK CHECK | Indicates that blank or non-blank medium was encountered when not expected. |- ! 0x09 || VENDOR SPECIFIC | This sense key is available for reporting vendor specific conditions. |- ! 0x0a || COPY ABORTED | Indicates a third-party copy command (see 5.18.3) was aborted after some data was transferred but before all data was transferred. |- ! 0x0b || ABORTED COMMAND | Indicates that the device server aborted the command. The application client may be able to recover by trying the command again. |- ! 0x0c || Reserved |- ! 0x0d || VOLUME OVERFLOW | Indicates that a buffered SCSI target device has reached the end of partition and data may remain in the buffer that has not been written to the medium. One or more RECOVER BUFFERED DATA command(s) may be sent to read the unwritten data from the buffer. See SSC-4. |- ! 0x0e || MISCOMPARE | Indicates that the source data did not match the data read from the medium. |- ! 0x0f || COMPLETED | Indicates there is command completed sense data (see SAM-5) to be reported. This may occur for a successful command. |} == ASC and ASCQ == {| style="font-size:9pt" border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" align="center" width="100%" |+ ASC and ASCQ assignments ! rowspan="2" width="5%" | ASC ! rowspan="2" width="5%" | ASCQ ! colspan="13" width="15%" | Device Type ! rowspan="2" | Description |- !

I have some history debugging those in the past (details below), but I'm surprised yet again that this is still an issue. The reason is somewhat more simple than it was 12 years ago when I debugged this with IPv4, but still has the same main cause of LLC PPPoE. The issue is that PPPoE adds an 8 byte header to a standard Ethernet frame, which means the interface MTU is reduced from 1500 to 1492 bytes. This means that the MSS of a TCP connection must also be reduced from 1440 to 1432 bytes. For this to work in a NAT scenario, or, indeed, a routed IPv4/IPv6 scenario, PMTUD is relied on to determine the appropriate MTU (and MSS). However, within the carrier network, there may be an MTU change occurring between pieces of equipment (DSLAM) that deal only at layer 2, and, hence, are unable to participate in PMTUD. Additionally, carriers tend to disable fragmentation, ignore the client MRU during PPPoE negotiation, and use a full 1500 byte MTU. And, just to make matters worse, MSS only applies, and is only negiotiated for TCP, meaning ICMP, UDP, IPSEC and other IP protocols may break. As discussed on the [https://forum.exetel.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=26544 Exetel forum], this results in "baby giants" (RFC 4638), where large Ethernet jumbo frames of 1508 bytes may be seen by the customer. These may be dropped by ethernet hubs/switches, host NICs, or operating system kernels. My solution 12 years ago was to [http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/sys/net/if_ether.h.diff?r1=1.51&r2=1.52&f=h patch] my NetBSD kernel, upgrade my Ethernet switch and host NIC. Generally, either gigabit ethernet devices, or devices supporting VLANs are sufficient to support jumbo frames. This fixed the behaviour I was seeing with ICMP and UDP (and IPSEC). For my IPv6 issue this time around, I simply added MSS clamping for IPv6 in my NetBSD npf configuration: <syntaxhighlight> $ext_if = "pppoe0" $ext_v6 = inet6(pppoe0) procedure "norm" { normalize: "max-mss" 1432 } group "external" on $ext_if { pass stateful out final family inet6 proto tcp from ! $ext_v6 to any apply "norm" .... } </syntaxhighlight> With this change, all the TCP connections negotiated a 1432 byte MSS and proceeded to work. Most large internet services tend to already use a lower MTU (and hence MSS) specifically to work around issues like this (eg. google.com appears to negotiate an MSS of 1360 as I check).

My workaround was to force NetFlix to IPv4, via simply blocking the IPv6 addresses via an npf rule, noting that <code>anycast.ftl.netflix.com.</code> has two AAAA records: <syntaxhighlight> block in final on alc0 proto tcp to 2a00:86c0:2040::1 port 443 block in final on alc0 proto tcp to 2a00:86c0:2041::1 port 443 </syntaxhighlight> [[Category:Stix's Blog]] 197c873f1d952391728d3d5c3f79da45a3cc2829 0 1751 3560 2020-09-30T02:33:58Z Stix 2 Created page with "So I've been notified by some kind stranger that they received a phone call from my Australian mobile number <tt>0419 432 517</tt>, claiming to be from the Australian Tax Offi..." wikitext text/x-wiki So I've been notified by some kind stranger that they received a phone call from my Australian mobile number <tt>0419 432 517</tt>, claiming to be from the Australian Tax Office (ATO).

Depending on the nature of the cache, expected hit ratios can vary from 60% to greater than 99%. Caches are used in many parts of computer systems - from CPU level 1 and level 2 caches, translation look-aside buffers (TLBs), operating system file system caches, and database (block) buffer caches (Oracle, Sybase, DB2, PostgreSQL, MySQL using InnoDB, etc). In all cases, the cache attempts to keep recently used data in a small area that is faster than the large, slow primary storage area, with the hope that the data will be accessed again, soon. The system then benefits from the faster access times. [[image:Cachehitratio.png|thumb|200px|right|Cache Hit Ratio vs Relative Performance]] Cache Hit Ratios are inherently logarithmic; the closer to 100%, the exponentially greater the gains. A simple way of visualising the nature of cache hit ratios, is to attempt to convert a ratio to a relative performance metric (ie. "transactions" or "operations" per second), by estimating the relative costs of a cache hit and a cache miss. This can be expressed as: <math> \begin{align} a & = \mathit{cachehitcost}\\ b & = \mathit{cachemisscost}\\ r & = \mathit{cachehitratio}\\ p & = \mathit{relativeperformance}\\ p & = \frac{1}{a r + b(1 - r)}\\ \end{align} </math> Graphically, given a cache miss cost of 0.005 s (5 ms) and a hit cost of 0.000001 s (1 &mu;s), which may be the case for a database engine (disk I/O vs virtual memory overheads), the exponential behaviour is clear. It can also be seen, that the more disparate the hit and miss costs, as is the case in modern computer systems, the relative performance quickly approaches: <math> p = \frac{1}{1 - r} </math> Therefore the difference between two relative cache hit ratios, with a large difference between hit and miss costs, can be given by: <math> \frac{1 - r_{1}}{1 - r_{2}} </math> Example: The difference between 98% cache hit ratio and 95% cache hit ratio is a factor of 2.5. <math> \frac{1 - 0.95}{1 - 0.98} = 2.5 </math> {{Clear}} === Prefer measuring the cache miss ratio === * cache hit ratio asymptotes towards 100%, making displaying high dynamic range challenging. * miss ratio may be graphed with a logarithmic scale, expanding the dynamic range.

At any time, my CD player is likely to contain anything from [http://www.enya.com/ Enya], [http://www.endorphin.tv/ Endorphin], Gatecrasher, [http://www.enigma.de/ Enigma], Live, Veruca Salt, Ganggajang, Air (the French band), [http://www.ebtg.com/ Everything But The Girl], the Corrs, Ben Folds Five, Stone Temple Pilots, modern jazz with Marc Moulin, or straight classical (Bach, Ravel, Mozart, Handel, Strauss, Rachmaninov, Vivaldi, Schubert, ...). And as for radio, there's basically only four stations worth listening to in Aus: [http://abc.net.au/radio/localradio/ ABC Local Radio], [http://abc.net.au/rn/ ABC Radio National] (for news and sport (think cricket)), [http://abc.net.au/classic/ ABC Classic FM] and ABC's "youth radio" [http://abc.net.au/triplej/ TripleJ]. You can even listen to the J's on the [http://abc.net.au/triplej/listen/default.htm 'Net]. In case you hadn't guessed, my radio's usually stuck on JJJ. At home, I have a nice [http://www.yamahamusic.com.au/ Yamaha] [http://www.yamahamusic.com.au/products/avit/htavreceivers/RX-V757B.asp RX-V757B] receiver/amp (upgraded from an RX-V2092), with 5-channels worth of Aaron speakers - a pair of ATS-5 speakers at the front, a pair of ATS-1 speakers for the rear, and a CC-240 centre speaker. Very happy with the setup, a very clean, natural sound. The room is small enough for the ATS-5s to pump out enough bass, without annoying the neighbours too much. The rest of the components are Yamaha CDC-765 6 disc CD turntable, Yamaha DVD-S796 DVD player, Sony SLV-X822 VCR and a [http://www.sharp.net.au/ Sharp] 32" Aquos [http://www.sharp.net.au/catalogue/productinfo.asp?model=LC32GA4X LC32GA4X] LCD TV.

I'm almost a B-grade player, but a shoulder injury (rotator-cuff partial tear) has held me back somewhat. I also try to get some cycling in, with the cycleway only a few hundred metres from my unit, there's no excuses. During the summer months I'm more keen to ride, my goal being to ride to work at least a couple of times a week (only 11 km each way). A goal that hasn't been realised. As well as these, I was introduced to skiing at an early age, with my parents both being ski instructors at various times. Although during high school, downhill skiing wasn't quite in the budget, so I enjoyed some cross-country skiing (traditional, not skating). Now, with a good job, I try to get a weeks downhill skiing in each year, with some cross country skiing on the side.

Parsing this text and the [https://github.com/apple/darwin-xnu/blob/master/osfmk/i386/mp.c#L1734 source], this is a secondary panic: the kernel has paniced (initial panic cause lost to the bit bucket), and tried to invoke the kernel debugger, which, at a very early stage attempts to halt all other processors. If this initial inter-processor interrupt (IPI) is not acknowledged, it then tries a non-maskable interrupt (NMI) IPI, which also then times out. The fact that this operation timed out, likely indicates a CPU configuration, firmware or hardware issue.

I believe one of the things the SMC has responsibility over is CPU power management, together with sleep states, thermal management, etc. It may be that one core is marginal on my machine, and runs into timing issues if not configured correctly. Another hunch might be thermal issues, as this crash only appears to have occurred with light system load (<5%), high ambient temperatures (>28&deg;C), high case temperatures and very low fan speed.

DP usage wikitext text/x-wiki While doing some retro-programming, I was after a small, fast random number generator for an old computer. Modern algorithms tend to keep large state, or do operations that would be "hard" on an old 8-bit microcomputer (eg. multiply, divide, wide operations). After trawling the internet for too long, I can across [https://www.electro-tech-online.com/threads/ultra-fast-pseudorandom-number-generator-for-8-bit.124249/ Ultra Fast Pseudorandom number generator for 8-bit], by EternityForest, which appeared perfect for my needs. It maintains 4 bytes of state, and so in theory should have a cycle of around <math>2^{32}</math> (see note below, it doesn't), which is far better than I need, and most importantly, it's a small number of simple, fast 8-bit ops - no multiply ops, no modulo ops, no divs! '''Note:''' In my testing, depending on the initial state, the cycle is actually in the range 4.2M - 4.6M, depending on the initial state. This is still more than adequate for simple games and such on an 8-bit micro. Also, changing the shift into a rotate actually reduces the cycle to around 400k. I don't know where the discrepancy with the original article comes from, although I did not use <tt>grep</tt> in my testing, but wrote code to find a matching sequence of 500 samples (bytes). == C Implementation == The C-code from the link, formatted and most comments stripped, is: <syntaxhighlight lang="c"> /*** X ABC Algorithm Random Number Generator for 8-Bit Devices https://www.electro-tech-online.com/threads/ultra-fast-pseudorandom-number-generator-for-8-bit.124249/ Not safe for cryptographic use! ***/ static uint8_t a, b, c, x; /* return 8-bit pseudorandom number */ uint8_t rnd8() { x++; a = (a ^ c) ^ x; b = b + a; c = (c + (b >> 1)) ^ a; return c; } /* Add entropy into the state */ init_rng(uint8_t s1, uint8_t s2, uint8_t s3) { /* XOR new entropy into key state */ a ^= s1; b ^= s2; c ^= s3; rnd8(); } </syntaxhighlight> == 6809 Assembler == Code in Tandy CoCo EDTASM format, around 49 cycles, not including the BSR.

(technically, tungsten carbide) wedding ring since I figured it would keep its shine forever. Little did I know about the effects of chlorine on tungsten. After a year or two of swimming lessons in a chlorine pool with my young child, it looked like this: [[image:tungsten-ring-before.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Tungsten carbide ring prior to polishing]] I took it off and left it sitting around gathering dust, then finally decided to do something about it. To polish something, you generally need something even harder in the polish, and there's few things harder than tungsten carbide. I bought diamond polishing lapping paste from eBay, 12 grades from 0.5 μm to 20 µm, for AUD $7.13, delivered. I have no idea about the quality, but the fact it worked counts for something. {{Clear}} Looking on YouTube, it seems most people place the ring in a vice, use a Dremel or similar tool to polish the exposed surface, then rotate the ring in the vice and repeat. This sounded tedious. So I 3d printed a [https://cad.onshape.com/documents/8591c7c9ce47044f4ad4261a/w/320133e0ea289782ee174549/e/8335a192043b85b23c559fb9 mount] which let me mount the ring in a bench drill press (could also use a lathe) and polish more lazily. The results speak for themselves - this is only after a minutes or two of polishing: [[image:tungsten-ring-after.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Tungsten carbide ring after polishing for a short time]] I started with a coarser paste, 5µm, then 2µm, and finally 0.5µm, placing a small amount of paste on a cloth, and polishing the spinning ring. For a first attempt, with little time spent or research, I'm quite happy with the results. It's still not back to "new", the ring mount means that the edges of the ring are more difficult to polish, and the inside is impossible. Thankfully, the inside is still as new, so I just need to spend a little more time polishing the edges.

The danger is profound and terrible; it cannot be waved aside with easy optimism. '''The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt'''. Even those of the intelligent who believe that they have a nostrum are too individualistic to combine with other intelligent men from whom they differ on minor points. This was not always the case.<br> -- "The Triumph of Stupidity" (1933-05-10) in Mortals and Others: Bertrand Russell's American Essays, 1931-1935 (Routledge, 1998, ISBN 0-415-17866-5), p. 28 ---- It has often and confidently been asserted, that man's origin can never be known: '''but ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge''': it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science.<br> -- "The Descent of Man" (1871), Charles Darwin, Introduction, p. 4. ---- Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.<br> -- Albert Einstein ---- Science literacy is a vaccine against the charlatans of the world that would exploit your ignorance.<br> -- Neil deGrasse Tyson ---- Some people have a mental horizon of radius zero, and call it their point of view.<br> -- David Hilbert ---- The more complex the mind, the greater the need for the simplicity of play.<br> -- Captain Kirk, "Shore Leave" ---- When you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to reform.<br> -- Mark Twain ---- Is this *idiocy*?

I sat through hundreds of hours of sociology courses, and read gobs of sociology writing, and I never once heard or read a coherent statement. This is because sociologists want to be considered scientists, so they spend most of their time translating simple, obvious observations into scientific-sounding code. If you plan to major in sociology, you'll have to learn to do the same thing. For example, suppose you have observed that children cry when they fall down. You should write: "Methodological observation of the sociometrical behavior tendencies of prematurated isolates indicates that a causal relationship exists between groundward tropism and lachrimatory behavior forms." If you can keep this up for 50 or 60 pages, you will get a large government grant. ---- If I were a blue spider, I would certainly ride on a train all the way from Avallon to Paris, and I would set up my house on the nose of a chocolate penguin.

The danger is profound and terrible; it cannot be waved aside with easy optimism. '''The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt'''. Even those of the intelligent who believe that they have a nostrum are too individualistic to combine with other intelligent men from whom they differ on minor points.

It isn't her's. It isn't our's either. It's ours, and likewise it's theirs and yours. ---- SOCIOLOGY: For sheer lack of intelligibility, sociology is far and away the number one subject. I sat through hundreds of hours of sociology courses, and read gobs of sociology writing, and I never once heard or read a coherent statement. This is because sociologists want to be considered scientists, so they spend most of their time translating simple, obvious observations into scientific-sounding code. If you plan to major in sociology, you'll have to learn to do the same thing. For example, suppose you have observed that children cry when they fall down. You should write: "Methodological observation of the sociometrical behavior tendencies of prematurated isolates indicates that a causal relationship exists between groundward tropism and lachrimatory behavior forms." If you can keep this up for 50 or 60 pages, you will get a large government grant. ---- If I were a blue spider, I would certainly ride on a train all the way from Avallon to Paris, and I would set up my house on the nose of a chocolate penguin.

Even those of the intelligent who believe that they have a nostrum are too individualistic to combine with other intelligent men from whom they differ on minor points.

I sat through hundreds of hours of sociology courses, and read gobs of sociology writing, and I never once heard or read a coherent statement. This is because sociologists want to be considered scientists, so they spend most of their time translating simple, obvious observations into scientific-sounding code. If you plan to major in sociology, you'll have to learn to do the same thing. For example, suppose you have observed that children cry when they fall down. You should write: "Methodological observation of the sociometrical behavior tendencies of prematurated isolates indicates that a causal relationship exists between groundward tropism and lachrimatory behavior forms."

We are a way for the cosmos to know itself.<br> -- Carl Sagan ---- In general we look for a new law by the following process. First we guess it. Then we compute the consequences of the guess to see what would be implied if this law that we guessed is right. Then we compare the result of the computation to nature, with experiment or experience, compare it directly with observation, to see if it works. If it disagrees with experiment it is wrong. In that simple statement is the key to science. It does not make any difference how beautiful your guess is. It does not make any difference how smart you are, who made the guess, or what his name is – if it disagrees with experiment it is wrong. That is all there is to it.<br> -- Richard Feynman ---- What counts is not what sounds plausible, not what we would like to believe, not what one or two witnesses claim, but only what is supported by hard evidence rigorously and sceptically examined.

I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.<br> -- Stephen F. Roberts ---- The various modes of worship which prevailed in the Roman world were all considered by the people as equally true; by the philosopher as equally false; and by the magistrate as equally useful.<br> -- Edward Gibbon, 1776 ---- Organised Religion (OR g@ nizd re LIJ @n) n. A "morally aligned" elite consisting of people who want to change everyone else's world to be like their own. See "Wrong Answer, The". ---- A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.<br> -- Albert Einstein ---- As long as you pray to God and ask him for some benefit, you are not a religious man.<br> -- Albert Einstein ---- Whatever there is of God and goodness in the universe, it must work itself out and express itself through us.

The 5.2.0.60 is the '''VRMF''', or Version, Release, Modification/Maintenance level, and Fix. ; PTF : Program Temporary Fix.

It was introduced in AIX 4.3. '''Direct I/O''' may be enabled via two methods: * Use of the <tt>O_DIRECT</tt> flag to the <tt>open(2)</tt> system call. * Use of the <tt>dio</tt> mount option. '''Direct I/O''' should be used where either the application does its own caching (like many databases, eg. [[Oracle]], [[DB2]], [[Sybase]], [[PostgreSQL]], [[TSM]], [[MySQL]] using [[InnoDB]]) or where the same data will not be read/written again for some time (eg. TSM disk storage pools). Bear in mind, that '''direct I/O''' performance still falls slightly short of the performance achieved by using [[raw logical volumes]]. With many applications, using [[raw logical volumes]] can be just as easy to manage. == Restrictions == * When using '''direct I/O''', all reads and writes must be aligned to, and a multiple of, the filesystem block size, often being between 512 bytes and 4 kibibytes. Any read/write request which does not meet this criteria will be forced to go through the file cache and [[VMM]]. * Any file mapped using <tt>mmap(2)</tt>, <tt>shm_open(2)</tt>, etc will default to using the file cache and [[VMM]] for all I/O from all processes. Once unmapped, I/O will return to using '''direct I/O'''. == See Also == === Internal === * [[lrud]] * [[concurrent I/O]] === External === * [https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/ssw_aix_72/performance/performance_pdf.pdf AIX Version 7.2 Performance management] * [https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/aix/7.2?topic=tuning-direct-io AIX 7.2 Direct I/O tuning] [[Category:AIX]] {{stub}} b509c22ae1fba2de401c04fbc6f91745e79fbc49 0 794 3606 3000 2021-06-22T23:35:07Z Stix 2 /* External */ Update links wikitext text/x-wiki ==Introduction == By default, AIX is tuned for a mixed workload, and will grow its [[VMM]] file cache up to 80% of physical RAM. While this may be great for an NFS server, SMTP relay or web server, it is very poor for running any application which does its own cache management. This includes most databases (Oracle, DB2, Sybase, PostgreSQL, MySQL using InnoDB tables, TSM) and some other software (eg. the Squid web cache). Common symptoms include high paging (high <tt>pgspin</tt> and <tt>pgspout</tt> in <tt>[[topas]]</tt>), high system CPU time, the [[lrud kernel thread]] using CPU, slow overall system throughput, slow backups and slow process startup. For most database systems, the ideal solution is to use [[raw logical volumes]]. If this is not acceptable, then [[direct I/O]] and [[concurrent I/O]] should be used. If for some reason this is not possible, then the last solution is to tune the [[AIX]] file caches to be less aggressive. == Parameters == The four main parameters that should be tuned are the three controlling the size of the persistent file cache (<tt>minperm%</tt> and <tt>maxperm%</tt>) used for JFS filesystems, and the client file cache (<tt>maxclient%</tt>) used by NFS, CDRFS and JFS2 filesystems, and also the <tt>lru_file_repage</tt> parameter, which influences what pages the [[VMM]] page stealing algorithm will steal (present in AIX 5.2 ML4+ and AIX 5.3 ML1+). ; numperm% : Defines the current size of the persistent file cache. ; minperm% : Defines the minimum amount of RAM the persistent file cache may occupy. If <tt>numperm%</tt> is less than or equal to <tt>minperm%</tt>, file pages will not be stolen when RAM is required. ; maxperm% : Defines the maximum amount of RAM the persistent file cache may occupy before it is used as the sole source of new pages by the page stealing algorithm. By default, <tt>numperm%</tt> may exceed <tt>maxperm%</tt> if there is free memory available. The setting <tt>strict_maxperm</tt> may be set to one to change <tt>maxperm%</tt> into a hard limit, guaranteeing <tt>numperm%</tt> will never exceed <tt>maxperm%</tt>. ; strict_maxperm : As above, if set to 1, changes <tt>maxperm%</tt> into a hard limit. ; numclient% : Defines the current size of the client file cache. ; maxclient% : Defines the hard maximum size of the client file cache. ; strict_maxclient : Introduced in 5.2 ML4, allows the changing of <tt>maxclient%</tt> into a soft limit, similar to <tt>strict_maxperm</tt>. ; lru_file_repage : Introduced in AIX 5.2 ML4 and AIX 5.3 ML1, this influences the [[VMM]] page stealing algorithm. If set to 0, the algorithm will strongly prefer stealing file pages to satisfy memory requests. Note that <tt>maxclient%</tt> may never exceed <tt>maxperm%</tt>. In later versions of vmtune, this is enforced by changing both parameters if necessary. == Tuning for AIX 5.1 and Earlier == The tool to use is <tt>/usr/samples/kernel/vmtune</tt>, installed as part of the <tt>bos.adt.samples</tt> fileset. If run without options, it will display the currently configured tuneable values, and some of the current runtime values. '''Note:''' vmtume may be used to set the current runtime parameters only. To have changes take effect on reboot, vmtune must be initiated as part of the system startups. An example of a tuning command used on a system running Oracle may be: # /usr/samples/kernel/vmtune -p 3 -P 5 -h 1 -t 5 Which sets <tt>minperm%</tt> to 3%, <tt>maxperm%</tt> and <tt>maxclient%</tt> to 5%, and enables <tt>strict_maxperm</tt>. == Tuning for AIX 5.2 and Later == '''Note:''' AIX 5.2 includes a compatibility version of <tt>vmtune</tt>. It is probably most wise to become familiar with the new tools, instead of relying on the backwards compatibility commands. The main tool to use is <tt>/usr/sbin/vmo</tt>, installed as part of the <tt>bos.perf.tune</tt> fileset. To display current cache sizes (<tt>numperm%</tt> and <tt>numclient%</tt>) use <tt>vmstat -v</tt>. <tt>vmo</tt> can change both persistent (reboot) values as well as runtime values, and so does not need to be present in the startups. It stores the persistent values in the <tt>/etc/tunables/nextboot</tt> file.

Service Information Message (SIM) and Media Information Message (MIM) may be generated by various IBM Magstar tape drives, like the 3570, 3590 and 3592. == What is SARS? == The Statistical Analysis and Reporting System (SARS) analyzes and reports on tape drive and tape cartridge performance to help you: * Determine whether the tape cartridge or the hardware in the tape drive is causing errors * Determine if the tape media is degrading over time * Determine if the tape drive hardware is degrading over time The 3590 tape drive microcode contains a Volume SARS (VSARS) algorithm and a Hardware SARS (HSARS) algorithm. SARS reports the results of its analysis in the form of Service Information Messages (SIM) and Media Information Messages (MIM). These messages are the means by which SARS communicates problems in order to improve tape library productivity. The SARS algorithms are executed in the 3590 just before a tape is unloaded. To distinguish error patterns and trends, the SARS volume algorithms require the tape to be mounted on different drives. The SARS hardware algorithms require different tapes to be mounted on one drive. If a tape drive performs poorly with different tape volumes, cleaning and service repair messages or error codes are presented. Similarly, if tape volumes continue to perform poorly on different drives, rewrite or discard-media messages are presented. There are other SARS algorithms in the 3590 tape drive. A part of SARS has been running on base 3590 tape drives since the first drive shipment in 1995; it requests drive cleaning when necessary and does some checking of hardware performance. SARS has been enabled in base 3590 tape drives that were shipped after January 1999. New 3590 tape drives are being shipped with SARS enabled in the microcode. Another algorithm in the tape drive is concurrent SARS. This algorithm is run when errors occur in the drive or when some diagnostic tests are run. Concurrent SARS is used to help isolate a problem between the drive and the media. You can find additional information about SIMs and MIMs in the Magstar 3590 High Performance Tape Subsystem Introduction and Planning Guideand the Magstar 3590 High Performance Tape Subsystem User’s Guide. You can access online versions of these documents at one of the following Web sites: * http://www.storage.ibm.com/hardsoft/tape/pubs/pubs3590.html * http://snjlnt03.sanjose.ibm.com/rmss/home.nsf/product/main == What Kinds of Information Does SARS Report? == SARS reports the following kinds of information: * Degraded media (MIM) * Bad media (MIM) * Degraded drive (SIM) * Bad drive (SIM) * Preventive maintenance actions needed, such as drive cleaning (SIM) == Why Should I Enable SARS? == SARS messages are helpful in media management, which allows you to remove marginal tape cartridges from the library. SARS messages also indicate degrading tape drive hardware performance, which allows a hardware repair action before the hardware actually fails. This results in improved library performance and higher reliability of the tape subsystem. == What Should I Know Before I Enable SARS? == You need to be aware of the following before you enable SARS by installing the updated 3590 drive microcode: * SARS is designed to detect the gradual degradation of the performance of media and hardware. * MIMs from the tape drives are recommendations. It is the responsibility of the software or the customer to take action on the messages. The 3590 drive will not actually write-protect the tape cartridge when a read-only message is presented. VTS and Tivoli Storage Management (formerly ADSM) products are exceptions to this; they mark the tape as read-only. * The number of tape cartridges recommended for read-only in VTS and Tivoli Storage Management products may increase temporarily (indicated by an increase in the number of MIM message codes 60). * As you remove tape cartridges that are performing marginally from the library, the number of read/write errors will decrease. The rate of removal will depend on the tape cycle in the library. * When a tape cartridge is recommended for read-only status, you will continue to be able to access the data on it. * You will need to copy the data from read-only tape cartridges, then eject them from the library. * You will need to follow existing vendor warranty procedures for evaluation and possible replacement of tape cartridges that SARS has marked read-only. For warranty information about IBM tape cartridges, call 1-800-IBM-MEDIA. == How Do I Configure SARS? == SIMs and MIMs can be reported multiple times. A drive configuration option allows SARS to report the same SIM or MIM more than once. The time between repeat SIMs and MIMs is eight hours. A SIM will be reported when an error occurs, and it will be repeated eight hours later. Then it will be repeated for the last time eight hours later. The default option is to not repeat SIMs and MIMs. The SARS reporting of SIMs and MIMs can be disabled if your host software does not support SIMs and MIMs. Depending on your software, you may be able to select the SIMs and MIMs that you want SARS to report. For example, you may want to see only the ''acute severity'' SIMs and MIMs, or you may prefer to see all SIMs and MIMs that SARS sends to the host. Software configuration options and drive configuration allow you to filter SIMs and MIMs by ''severity code''. == SIM Severity Codes == The SIM severity codes are: * Severity 0 code indicates that the tape drive requires service, but normal operation is not affected. * Severity 1 code indicates that the problem is moderate. The tape drive is operating in a degraded condition. * Severity 2 code indicates that the problem is serious. The tape drive is operating in a degraded condition. * Severity 3 code indicates that the problem is acute. The tape drive requires immediate service attention. == MIM Severity Codes == The MIM severity codes are: * Severity 1 code indicates that ''high temporary read or write'' errors occurred (moderate severity). * Severity 2 code indicates that ''permanent read or write'' errors occurred (serious severity). * Severity 3 code indicates that ''tape directory'' errors occurred (acute severity). == What Is a Service Information Message (SIM)? == A SIM alerts you that an abnormal operational condition in a 3590 or 3570 tape drive requires service attention. Information in the SIM identifies the affected drive, the failing component, the severity of the fault condition, and the expected operational impact of the pending service action. A SIM is a SCSI Log Sense page (see Figure 1 for a graphic view of the SIM format). This information helps you to initiate and expedite the appropriate recovery and service procedures in order to restore normal operation with maximum efficiency and minimal disruption. A SIM contains the machine type, machine serial number, and Field Replaceable Unit (FRU), which allows the dispatch of the appropriate service personnel, along with the replacement parts required to correct the machine fault. This improves service response time and reduces the time required for machine repair. A SIM also contains a severity code, which allows you to determine the urgency of the problem and a service message, which advises you of the service impact. {| style="font-size:8pt; text-align:center" border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" align="center" width="100%" |+ Figure 1.

Little did I know about the effects of chlorine on tungsten. After a year or two of swimming lessons in a chlorine pool with my young child, it looked like this: [[image:tungsten-ring-before.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Tungsten carbide ring prior to polishing]] I took it off and left it sitting around gathering dust, then finally decided to do something about it. To polish something, you generally need something even harder in the polish, and there's few things harder than tungsten carbide. I bought diamond polishing lapping paste from eBay, 12 grades from 0.5 μm to 20 µm, for AUD $7.13, delivered. I have no idea about the quality, but the fact it worked counts for something. {{Clear}} Looking on YouTube, it seems most people place the ring in a vice, use a Dremel or similar tool to polish the exposed surface, then rotate the ring in the vice and repeat. This sounded tedious. So I 3d printed a [https://cad.onshape.com/documents/8591c7c9ce47044f4ad4261a/w/320133e0ea289782ee174549/e/8335a192043b85b23c559fb9 mount] which let me mount the ring in a bench drill press (could also use a lathe) and polish more lazily. The results speak for themselves - this is only after a minute or two of polishing: [[image:tungsten-ring-after.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Tungsten carbide ring after polishing for a short time]] I started with a coarser paste, 5µm, then 2µm, and finally 0.5µm, placing a small amount of paste on a cloth, and polishing the spinning ring. For a first attempt, with little time spent or research, I'm quite happy with the results. It's still not back to "new", the ring mount means that the edges of the ring are more difficult to polish, and the inside is impossible. Thankfully, the inside is still as new, so I just need to spend a little more time polishing the edges.

While I much prefer this cooked on a hot rock in the middle of camp fire ashes, it's not bad hot from the oven, either. == Ingredients == * 2 cups self-raising flour. * 1 tablespoon butter (~15g) * 1 cup water == Substitutions/Additions == * Substitute 1 cup self-raising + 1 cup plain flour. * Substitute milk for water. * Add sugar for a more sweet bread. * Add salt (plain salted butter has enough for me). * Add dried fruit. * Add sun-dried tomato. == Instructions == # Preheat oven to 180⁰C. # Line a baking tray with baking paper. # In a large bowl, mix flour with dry additions (salt, sugar). # Rub in the butter (kids love this step, nice and messy). # Gradually add and mix in the water (or milk), until the mixture turns to a soft but not too sticky dough (kids love this step even more, it's even more messy!). # Knead and shape into a flattened ball, and place on the baking paper. # Brush/wetten the top with milk to make a golden crust. # Bake for roughly 30 minutes, until golden, and until it sounds hollow when tapped with a spoon.

Their 2008 model iMac, running the latest supported version of Mac OS X (10.11.6, El Capitan), was throwing <tt>NET::ERR_CERT_DATE_INVALID</tt> errors to a bunch of web sites, from all browsers. This is due to the expiry of an SSL root certificate, IdenTrust R3 <tt>DST Root CA X3</tt>. Following the instructions [https://docs.certifytheweb.com/docs/kb/kb-202109-letsencrypt/#macos-ios-etc here], I installed the new <tt>ISRG Root X1</tt>, and got them back up and running. I'm sure their old OS is full of security holes, but there's probably little on there of interest. They were extremely grateful they didn't have to shell out thousands for an "unnecessary" upgrade. This kind of forced obsolescence is annoying at the least, and downright wasteful. Ok, so Apple doesn't want to support a perfectly functional 13 year old computer? Sure, there's no money in it for them. But that should be factored in. Support the environment, continue to support the old stuff, don't require people to churn gear unnecessarily.

The danger is profound and terrible; it cannot be waved aside with easy optimism. '''The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt'''. Even those of the intelligent who believe that they have a nostrum are too individualistic to combine with other intelligent men from whom they differ on minor points. This was not always the case.<br> -- "The Triumph of Stupidity" (1933-05-10) in Mortals and Others: Bertrand Russell's American Essays, 1931-1935 (Routledge, 1998, ISBN 0-415-17866-5), p. 28 ---- It has often and confidently been asserted, that man's origin can never be known: '''but ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge''': it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science.<br> -- "The Descent of Man" (1871), Charles Darwin, Introduction, p. 4. ---- Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.<br> -- Albert Einstein ---- Science literacy is a vaccine against the charlatans of the world that would exploit your ignorance.<br> -- Neil deGrasse Tyson ---- Some people have a mental horizon of radius zero, and call it their point of view.<br> -- David Hilbert ---- The more complex the mind, the greater the need for the simplicity of play.<br> -- Captain Kirk, "Shore Leave" ---- When you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to reform.<br> -- Mark Twain ---- Is this *idiocy*?

I sat through hundreds of hours of sociology courses, and read gobs of sociology writing, and I never once heard or read a coherent statement. This is because sociologists want to be considered scientists, so they spend most of their time translating simple, obvious observations into scientific-sounding code. If you plan to major in sociology, you'll have to learn to do the same thing. For example, suppose you have observed that children cry when they fall down. You should write: "Methodological observation of the sociometrical behavior tendencies of prematurated isolates indicates that a causal relationship exists between groundward tropism and lachrimatory behavior forms." If you can keep this up for 50 or 60 pages, you will get a large government grant. ---- If I were a blue spider, I would certainly ride on a train all the way from Avallon to Paris, and I would set up my house on the nose of a chocolate penguin.

The last day (2021-01-15), my 2020 Apple MacBook Pro 13" (macOS aka Mac OS X, running 10.15.7 Catalina) has had 3 system crashes (panics, in UNIX/Linux speak) with the following signature: <syntaxhighlight lang="text"> Machine-check capabilities: 0x0000000000000c0b family: 6 model: 126 stepping: 5 microcode: 160 signature: 0x706e5 Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-1038NG7 CPU @ 2.00GHz 11 error-reporting banks Processor 0: IA32_MCG_STATUS: 0x0000000000000005 IA32_MC7_STATUS(0x41d): 0xfe20000000081152 IA32_MC7_ADDR(0x41e): 0x000000000ab725c0 IA32_MC7_MISC(0x41f): 0x0000007020008086 Processor 1: IA32_MCG_STATUS: 0x0000000000000005 IA32_MC7_STATUS(0x41d): 0xfe20000000081152 IA32_MC7_ADDR(0x41e): 0x000000000ab725c0 IA32_MC7_MISC(0x41f): 0x0000007020008086 Processor 2: IA32_MCG_STATUS: 0x0000000000000005 IA32_MC7_STATUS(0x41d): 0xfe20000000081152 IA32_MC7_ADDR(0x41e): 0x000000000ab725c0 IA32_MC7_MISC(0x41f): 0x0000007020008086 Processor 3: IA32_MCG_STATUS: 0x0000000000000005 IA32_MC7_STATUS(0x41d): 0xfe20000000081152 IA32_MC7_ADDR(0x41e): 0x000000000ab725c0 IA32_MC7_MISC(0x41f): 0x0000007020008086 Processor 4: IA32_MCG_STATUS: 0x0000000000000005 IA32_MC7_STATUS(0x41d): 0xfe20000000081152 IA32_MC7_ADDR(0x41e): 0x000000000ab725c0 IA32_MC7_MISC(0x41f): 0x0000007020008086 Processor 5: IA32_MCG_STATUS: 0x0000000000000005 IA32_MC7_STATUS(0x41d): 0xfe20000000081152 IA32_MC7_ADDR(0x41e): 0x000000000ab725c0 IA32_MC7_MISC(0x41f): 0x0000007020008086 Processor 6: IA32_MCG_STATUS: 0x0000000000000005 IA32_MC7_STATUS(0x41d): 0xfe20000000081152 IA32_MC7_ADDR(0x41e): 0x000000000ab725c0 IA32_MC7_MISC(0x41f): 0x0000007020008086 Processor 7: IA32_MCG_STATUS: 0x0000000000000005 IA32_MC7_STATUS(0x41d): 0xfe20000000081152 IA32_MC7_ADDR(0x41e): 0x000000000ab725c0 IA32_MC7_MISC(0x41f): 0x0000007020008086 mp_kdp_enter() timed-out on cpu 4, NMI-ing mp_kdp_enter() NMI pending on cpus: 0 1 2 3 5 6 7 mp_kdp_enter() timed-out during locked wait after NMI;expected 8 acks but received 1 after 2084268 loops in 998400000 ticks panic(cpu 4 caller 0xffffff800ac4623c): "Machine Check at … </syntaxhighlight> Searching around, there seems to be little real information about this particular crash signature, and most recommendations are the usual re-install, remove hardware, remove drivers, unplug USB devices, etc, which seem largely unhelpful. Parsing this text and the [https://github.com/apple/darwin-xnu/blob/master/osfmk/i386/mp.c#L1734 source], this is a secondary panic: the kernel has paniced (initial panic cause lost to the bit bucket, but I'm wondering if it was a machine check?), and tried to invoke the kernel debugger, which, at a very early stage attempts to halt all other processors. If this initial inter-processor interrupt (IPI) is not acknowledged, it then tries a non-maskable interrupt (NMI) IPI, which also then times out. The fact that this operation timed out, likely indicates a CPU configuration, firmware or hardware issue. So far, I have [https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295 reset the SMC], which delayed the next batch of crashes by one week. I believe one of the things the SMC has responsibility over is CPU power management, together with sleep states, thermal management, etc. It may be that one core is marginal on my machine, and runs into timing issues if not configured correctly. Another hunch might be thermal issues, as this crash only appears to have occurred with light system load (<5%), high ambient temperatures (>28&deg;C), high case temperatures and very low fan speed. '''Update 2021-01-21''': Started getting crashes immediately after logging in. Resetting SMC, NVRAM had no effect. I managed to boot into recovery mode, and attempted to run Disk First Aid, and the machine crashed again, twice in two attempts. Clearly the marginal faulty hardware (CPU?) is getting worse.

This time the backlight on my aging Chimei CMV 221D LCD monitor from March 2007 refused to come on. It had been playing up for a while, only coming on about 25% of the time I turned the monitor on, so I'd gotten into the habit of leaving it on all the time, and disabling the sleep mode. Unfortunately, I had to turn it off for a night, and after that, it refused to come on. So, I pulled it apart and uncovered the power supply, and immediately located a problem. Six problems, in fact. Three are pretty obvious in the photo, with visible leaks, especially the large main input 120µF 400v filter cap, and the two towards the centre-right (220µF 25v and 1000µF 25v). Two more show noticeable bulges (both 220µF 25v), and the remaining one, the 1000µF 25v one lying down towards the top-right also has a bulge not visible in the photo. All the black CapXon caps, and only the CapXon caps, were either bulging or leaking. 20 minutes later after a quick walk to Jaycar, I had replacement caps. De-soldered the CapXon caps, soldered in the replacements, and bingo, one working monitor, which I'm using right now to create this page!

However, my parents started reporting it turning off intermittently. Every time I visited, it refused to misbehave, as faults of this type too often appear to do. This last time, it refused to power on for more than about half a second (not a coincidence, see the service manual). I managed to catch an error out of the diagnostics <tt>PS PRT: 0%</tt> (via holding <tt>VCR2</tt> and <tt>VIDEO AUX</tt> while powering on), which pointed me towards the power supply. And this time, I'd bought my multimeter and DSO (a recently purchased Rigol DS1054Z), and attacked the Amp, checking all the power rails I could find, and sure enough the DC +5V rail looked very dodgy, and I don't think it was the only one. Pulling the board out enough to see the underside, the joints on several of the regulators (UPC4570HA op-amps) attached to the heat-sink looked very, very dry. I remelted those with a dodgy old soldering iron and some relatively thin 2mm flux cored 50/50 solder I managed to find, and sure enough, amp fixed!

[[image:coco1 38400.png|frame|center|CoCo1 38400 baud oscilloscope trace]] Well, 38400 baud is starting to look a bit rough. The rise time of a pulse is now shorter than the bit duration (about 26µs at 38400 bps). The RS-232 decoder in the oscilloscope is still managing to figure things out. And, yes, we can even attempt 57600 bps, at which point the oscilloscope gives up: [[image:coco1 57600.png|frame|center|CoCo1 57600 baud oscilloscope trace]] == See also == * [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_banging Bit banging] at wikipedia. * [https://github.com/n6il/DwTerm/blob/master/dwwrite.asm DriveWire terminal transmit assembly routines].

The danger is profound and terrible; it cannot be waved aside with easy optimism. '''The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt'''. Even those of the intelligent who believe that they have a nostrum are too individualistic to combine with other intelligent men from whom they differ on minor points.

It isn't her's. It isn't our's either. It's ours, and likewise it's theirs and yours. ---- SOCIOLOGY: For sheer lack of intelligibility, sociology is far and away the number one subject. I sat through hundreds of hours of sociology courses, and read gobs of sociology writing, and I never once heard or read a coherent statement. This is because sociologists want to be considered scientists, so they spend most of their time translating simple, obvious observations into scientific-sounding code. If you plan to major in sociology, you'll have to learn to do the same thing. For example, suppose you have observed that children cry when they fall down. You should write: "Methodological observation of the sociometrical behavior tendencies of prematurated isolates indicates that a causal relationship exists between groundward tropism and lachrimatory behavior forms." If you can keep this up for 50 or 60 pages, you will get a large government grant. ---- If I were a blue spider, I would certainly ride on a train all the way from Avallon to Paris, and I would set up my house on the nose of a chocolate penguin.

We are a way for the cosmos to know itself.<br> -- Carl Sagan ---- In general we look for a new law by the following process. First we guess it. Then we compute the consequences of the guess to see what would be implied if this law that we guessed is right. Then we compare the result of the computation to nature, with experiment or experience, compare it directly with observation, to see if it works. If it disagrees with experiment it is wrong. In that simple statement is the key to science. It does not make any difference how beautiful your guess is. It does not make any difference how smart you are, who made the guess, or what his name is – if it disagrees with experiment it is wrong. That is all there is to it.<br> -- Richard Feynman ---- What counts is not what sounds plausible, not what we would like to believe, not what one or two witnesses claim, but only what is supported by hard evidence rigorously and sceptically examined.

I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.<br> -- Stephen F. Roberts ---- The various modes of worship which prevailed in the Roman world were all considered by the people as equally true; by the philosopher as equally false; and by the magistrate as equally useful.<br> -- Edward Gibbon, 1776 ---- Organised Religion (OR g@ nizd re LIJ @n) n. A "morally aligned" elite consisting of people who want to change everyone else's world to be like their own. See "Wrong Answer, The". ---- A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.<br> -- Albert Einstein ---- As long as you pray to God and ask him for some benefit, you are not a religious man.<br> -- Albert Einstein ---- Whatever there is of God and goodness in the universe, it must work itself out and express itself through us.

Clarke ---- We are all without god – some of us just happen to be aware of it.<br> -- Monica Salcedo ---- Yes, I suppose it's odd that atheists sometimes say Jesus and Oh My God.

The danger is profound and terrible; it cannot be waved aside with easy optimism. '''The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt'''. Even those of the intelligent who believe that they have a nostrum are too individualistic to combine with other intelligent men from whom they differ on minor points. This was not always the case.<br> -- "The Triumph of Stupidity" (1933-05-10) in Mortals and Others: Bertrand Russell's American Essays, 1931-1935 (Routledge, 1998, ISBN 0-415-17866-5), p. 28 ---- It has often and confidently been asserted, that man's origin can never be known: '''but ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge''': it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science.<br> -- "The Descent of Man" (1871), Charles Darwin, Introduction, p. 4. ---- Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.<br> -- Albert Einstein ---- Science literacy is a vaccine against the charlatans of the world that would exploit your ignorance.<br> -- Neil deGrasse Tyson ---- Some people have a mental horizon of radius zero, and call it their point of view.<br> -- David Hilbert ---- The more complex the mind, the greater the need for the simplicity of play.<br> -- Captain Kirk, "Shore Leave" ---- When you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to reform.<br> -- Mark Twain ---- Is this *idiocy*?

It isn't her's. It isn't our's either. It's ours, and likewise it's theirs and yours. ---- SOCIOLOGY: For sheer lack of intelligibility, sociology is far and away the number one subject. I sat through hundreds of hours of sociology courses, and read gobs of sociology writing, and I never once heard or read a coherent statement. This is because sociologists want to be considered scientists, so they spend most of their time translating simple, obvious observations into scientific-sounding code. If you plan to major in sociology, you'll have to learn to do the same thing. For example, suppose you have observed that children cry when they fall down. You should write: "Methodological observation of the sociometrical behavior tendencies of prematurated isolates indicates that a causal relationship exists between groundward tropism and lachrimatory behavior forms." If you can keep this up for 50 or 60 pages, you will get a large government grant. ---- If I were a blue spider, I would certainly ride on a train all the way from Avallon to Paris, and I would set up my house on the nose of a chocolate penguin.

Elliot ---- My father (a lawyer) told me that company culture is driven from the top -- if it's the people who make the product, you're good; sell the product, you're OK. If the accountants take over, look for another job, and if the lawyers take over, run as fast as you can the other way.<br> -- Alden Hart ---- War will exist until that distant day when the conscientious objector enjoys the same reputation and prestige that the warrior does today. <br> -- John F. Kennedy ---- Let us not despair but act. Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer but the right answer.

When people thought the earth was spherical, they were wrong. But if you think that thinking the earth is spherical is just as wrong as thinking the earth is flat, then your view is wronger than both of them put together.<br> -- Isaac Asimov, "The Relativity of Wrong" (1988) ---- [I do not] carry such information in my mind since it is readily available in books. &hellip;The value of a college education is not the learning of many facts but the training of the mind to think.<br> -- Albert Einstein ---- &hellip; It is our responsibility as scientists, knowing the great progress which comes from a '''satisfactory philosophy of ignorance''', the great progress which is the fruit of freedom of thought, to proclaim the value of this freedom; to teach how doubt is not to be feared but welcomed and discussed; and to demand this freedom as our duty to all coming generations.<br> -- Richard Feynman ---- We're made of star-stuff. We are a way for the cosmos to know itself.<br> -- Carl Sagan ---- In general we look for a new law by the following process. First we guess it. Then we compute the consequences of the guess to see what would be implied if this law that we guessed is right. Then we compare the result of the computation to nature, with experiment or experience, compare it directly with observation, to see if it works. If it disagrees with experiment it is wrong. In that simple statement is the key to science. It does not make any difference how beautiful your guess is. It does not make any difference how smart you are, who made the guess, or what his name is – if it disagrees with experiment it is wrong.

I have some history debugging those in the past (details below), but I'm surprised yet again that this is still an issue. The reason is somewhat more simple than it was 12 years ago when I debugged this with IPv4, but still has the same main cause of LLC PPPoE. The issue is that PPPoE adds an 8 byte header to a standard Ethernet frame, which means the interface MTU is reduced from 1500 to 1492 bytes. This means that the MSS of a TCP connection must also be reduced from 1440 to 1432 bytes. For this to work in a NAT scenario, or, indeed, a routed IPv4/IPv6 scenario, PMTUD is relied on to determine the appropriate MTU (and MSS). However, within the carrier network, there may be an MTU change occurring between pieces of equipment (DSLAM) that deal only at layer 2, and, hence, are unable to participate in PMTUD. Additionally, carriers tend to disable fragmentation, ignore the client MRU during PPPoE negotiation, and use a full 1500 byte MTU. And, just to make matters worse, MSS only applies, and is only negotiated for TCP, meaning ICMP, UDP, IPSEC and other IP protocols may break. As discussed on the [https://forum.exetel.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=26544 Exetel forum], this results in "baby giants" (RFC 4638), where large Ethernet jumbo frames of 1508 bytes may be seen by the customer. These may be dropped by ethernet hubs/switches, host NICs, or operating system kernels. My solution 12 years ago was to [http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/sys/net/if_ether.h.diff?r1=1.51&r2=1.52&f=h patch] my NetBSD kernel, upgrade my Ethernet switch and host NIC. Generally, either gigabit ethernet devices, or devices supporting VLANs are sufficient to support jumbo frames. This fixed the behaviour I was seeing with ICMP and UDP (and IPSEC). For my IPv6 issue this time around, I simply added MSS clamping for IPv6 in my NetBSD npf configuration: <syntaxhighlight> $ext_if = "pppoe0" $ext_v6 = inet6(pppoe0) procedure "norm" { normalize: "max-mss" 1432 } group "external" on $ext_if { pass stateful out final family inet6 proto tcp from ! $ext_v6 to any apply "norm" .... } </syntaxhighlight> With this change, all the TCP connections negotiated a 1432 byte MSS and proceeded to work. Most large internet services tend to already use a lower MTU (and hence MSS) specifically to work around issues like this (eg. google.com appears to negotiate an MSS of 1360 as I check). I'll be chasing up the issue I found, and hopefully their MTU can also be reduced. == See Also == * [http://test-ipv6.com/ test-ipv6.com] * [https://forum.exetel.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=26544 MTU and "baby giants" (RFC4638)?] on the [http://www.exetel.com.au/ Exetel] forum. * {{IETF RFC|1483}} Multiprotocol Encapsulation over ATM Adaptation Layer 5 * {{IETF RFC|2516}} A Method for Transmitting PPP Over Ethernet (PPPoE) * {{IETF RFC|4638}} Accommodating a Maximum Transit Unit/Maximum Receive Unit (MTU/MRU) Greater Than 1492 in the Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) * {{IETF RFC|8201}} Path MTU Discovery for IP version 6 * NetBSD patch for [http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/sys/net/if_ether.h.diff?r1=1.51&r2=1.52&f=h if_ether.h] to allow baby giants. * NetBSD problem report [http://gnats.netbsd.org/39203 kern/39203 PPPoE issues with broken MTU/MRU implementations].

OpenSCAD doesn't have a sweep function or operator; however, the <tt>hull</tt> transformation can be used for this purpose. My first attempt was the "trefoil knot", a relatively simple trigonometric curve represented by the parametric equations: <math> \begin{align} x & = \cos t + 2\cos 2t\\ y & = \sin t - 2\sin 2t\\ z & = -\sin 3t\\ \end{align} </math> The OpenSCAD solution was to break the curve into short steps, and "sweep" a hull between spheres translated to successive points on the curve. The rendering is very clean, and generates a clean stl file read for slicing and 3D-printing.

Hunting around for decent backup software left me somewhat dispirited, but I settled on [https://duplicity.gitlab.io/ duplicity], which had the feature set I was after, and performed reasonably after getting the [https://github.com/boto/boto3 boto3] backend working. The configuration for backing up to s3 compatible storage is a little daunting, and I've ended up with a "dup" wrapper that has all the options I'm after. Note that I'm backing up from [https://www.netbsd.org/ NetBSD], with software installed from [https://pkgsrc.org/ pkgsrc], but this should work equally well from any similar Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, etc, Unix-like system. I've also not bothered to encrypt my backups - enabling that is left as an exercise to the reader. I have also embedded the region name into the bucket name. I was playing with buckets in a few different regions, and this was the easiest way to disambigute them. == "dup" duplicity wrapper == Tweak for your use-case. <syntaxhighlight lang="shell"> #!/bin/ksh TS="date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S" RC=0 export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX FLAGS="--archive-dir /home/duplicity" FLAGS="${FLAGS} --s3-use-new-style" FLAGS="${FLAGS} --asynchronous-upload" FLAGS="${FLAGS} --no-encryption" FLAGS="${FLAGS} --exclude-other-filesystems" FLAGS="${FLAGS} --exclude-device-files" FLAGS="${FLAGS} --exclude-if-present .nobackup" FLAGS="${FLAGS} --full-if-older-than 30D --no-encryption" # https://wasabi-support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360015106031-What-are-the-service-URLs-for-Wasabi-s-different-storage-regions- # HOST=s3.us-east-1.wasabisys.com # N.

3669 2022-12-31T01:13:03Z Stix 2 Move to CoCo category wikitext text/x-wiki Like many personal computers of its age, the Tandy Color Computer (CoCo) didn't have any dedicated hardware drivers for its built in RS-232C serial port, and relied on so called software bit banging. What is bit banging? Instead of relying on a hardware driver to drive the voltage on the physical lines with the appropriate timing, software directly manipulates the line state, high or low, and relies on carefully coded software timing loops for the bit transitions. In the case of the CoCo, bit 1 of PIA1 at address &HFF20 directly controls the RS-232C transmit line. == Timing in BASIC == The serial output routine in BASIC uses a 16-bit big-endian value stored at 149,150 (&H95,&H96) to control the BASIC ROM serial output timing loop, and hence the serial port speed. Several values are documented in the manuals, and some searching or experimentation uncovers more: {| class="wikitable" ! bps || 16-bit value decimal || hexadecimal || notes |- style="text-align:right;" | 120 || 458 || &H1CA || |- style="text-align:right;" | 300 || 180 || &HBE || |- style="text-align:right;" | 600 || 87 || &H57 || style="text-align:left;" | default at boot |- style="text-align:right;" | 1200 || 41 || &H29 || |- style="text-align:right;" | 2400 || 18 || &H12 || |- style="text-align:right;" | 4800 || 6 || &H6 || style="text-align:left;" | undocumented |- style="text-align:right;" | 9600 || 1 || &H1 || style="text-align:left;" | undocumented |} Looking at an oscilloscope trace for 9600 baud operation from BASIC on a CoCo1, the waveform appears quite clean and nicely square: [[image:coco1 9600.png|frame|center|CoCo1 9600 baud oscilloscope trace]] Can we go faster than 9600 baud? Sure! == Using custom assembly == Writing our own m6809 assembly we can beat 9600 baud. Interestingly, it's not the processor that limits the speed for the CoCo1, as we'll see. When writing assembly, the cycle count of each instruction must be determined, and the length of any loop precisely controlled to set the desired bit rate. In writing my own routines, I found myself needing precise delays, and found quickly that <tt>NOP</tt> isn't the only do-nothing instruction of use for padding out delays. Indeed, you can use several instructions: {| class="wikitable" ! Instruction || cycles |- | NOP || 2 |- | BRN xxx || 3 |- | LBRN xxx || 5 |- | EXG A,A || 7 |} Using combinations of these, you can generally form loops of any cycle count. So, let's go faster! [[image:coco1 19200.png|frame|center|CoCo1 19200 baud oscilloscope trace]] Right, that's 19200 baud, and everything still looks good. Maybe faster? [[image:coco1 38400.png|frame|center|CoCo1 38400 baud oscilloscope trace]] Well, 38400 baud is starting to look a bit rough. The rise time of a pulse is now shorter than the bit duration (about 26µs at 38400 bps). The RS-232 decoder in the oscilloscope is still managing to figure things out. And, yes, we can even attempt 57600 bps, at which point the oscilloscope gives up: [[image:coco1 57600.png|frame|center|CoCo1 57600 baud oscilloscope trace]] == See also == * [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_banging Bit banging] at wikipedia. * [https://github.com/n6il/DwTerm/blob/master/dwwrite.asm DriveWire terminal transmit assembly routines].

Making notes here so I don't have to keep Googling and reading man pages. First, create a new local git repository, and import from CVS. Checkout the imported files. <syntaxhighlight lang="shell"> $ mkdir myproj-git $ cd myproj-git $ git init Initialized empty Git repository in /path/to/myproj-git/.git/ $ find /path/to/myproj-cvsroot | cvs-fast-export | git fast-import cvs-fast-export: no commitids before 2013-03-13T04:53:53Z. … $ git checkout -f </syntaxhighlight> Use the github UI to create a new empty repository. Now create a local bare repository for importing to gihub.

Modern algorithms tend to keep large state, or do operations that would be "hard" on an old 8-bit microcomputer (eg. multiply, divide, wide operations). After trawling the internet for too long, I can across [https://www.electro-tech-online.com/threads/ultra-fast-pseudorandom-number-generator-for-8-bit.124249/ Ultra Fast Pseudorandom number generator for 8-bit], by EternityForest, which appeared perfect for my needs. It maintains 4 bytes of state, and so in theory could have a cycle of around <math>2^{32}</math> (see note below, it doesn't), which is far better than I need, and most importantly, it's a small number of simple, fast 8-bit ops - no multiply ops, no modulo ops, no divides! '''Note:''' In my testing, depending on the initial state, the cycle is actually in the range 4.2M - 4.6M. This is still more than adequate for simple games and such on an 8-bit micro. Also, changing the shift into a rotate actually reduces the cycle to around 400k. I don't know where the discrepancy with the original article comes from, although I did not use <tt>grep</tt> in my testing, but wrote code to find a matching sequence of 500 samples (bytes). == C Implementation == The C-code from the link, formatted and most comments stripped, is: <syntaxhighlight lang="c"> /*** X ABC Algorithm Random Number Generator for 8-Bit Devices https://www.electro-tech-online.com/threads/ultra-fast-pseudorandom-number-generator-for-8-bit.124249/ Not safe for cryptographic use! ***/ static uint8_t a, b, c, x; /* return 8-bit pseudorandom number */ uint8_t rnd8() { x++; a = (a ^ c) ^ x; b = b + a; c = (c + (b >> 1)) ^ a; return c; } /* Add entropy into the state */ void init_rng(uint8_t s1, uint8_t s2, uint8_t s3) { /* XOR new entropy into key state */ a ^= s1; b ^= s2; c ^= s3; rnd8(); } </syntaxhighlight> == 6809 Assembler == Code in Tandy CoCo EDTASM format, around 49 cycles, not including the BSR.

covered for the first half wikitext text/x-wiki Not quite authentic, but tasty and will feed the starving hoards. Note that I never measure my ingredients, so everything below is approximate. This should serve about 8 hungry big eaters, and can be frozen and reheated later if desired. Indeed, it usually tastes better reheated. == Ingredients == * olive oil * 2 x brown onions * about 1 tablespoon garlic (either minced or fresh) * about 1 tablespoon ginger (minced) * 200g ham * 2 x 800g tinned chopped tomatoes * about 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar * 3 carrots * &frac14; cup Worcester sauce * 5 to 10 birds eye chillies, or dry chilli flakes (obviously optional; spices it up a little) * 1kg beef & pork mince (not lean, if you really want flavour) * about 1 tablespoon oregano (dry or fresh) == Method == Dice onion, the finer the better, and fry with olive oil in the bottom of a large pot until it turns clear, under medium heat. Dice ham, add to pot and fry for a few minutes. Add garlic (if using fresh garlic, mince, crush, use food processor, etc) and ginger, stir. Add tomatoes, dark brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce to the pot. Grate carrots; being lazy, I tend to use a small food processor to grate carrots and fresh chillies together. Mix. Break the mince into the pot and stir thoroughly to break up lumps. Stir in oregano. Place covered pot in oven preheated to 180&deg;C (~350&deg;F). Check and stir every 30 minutes. Cook for between 1 and 2 hours. Uncover about half way through, and cook until the mixture thickens considerably.

When you are running with hyper-threading (aka HT, HTT, Symmetric Multi-Threading (SMT), etc) enabled. Here's a simple demonstration. == NetBSD 4.0 on a Pentium 4 == The system here has a "Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz", single core (one "physical" CPU) with hyper-threading enabled (giving two "logical" CPUs), running NetBSD 4.0 with an SMP kernel. We run a deterministic unit of work on an idle system: <syntaxhighlight lang="text"> ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 10.28s real 10.05s user 0.24s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 10.26s real 10.05s user 0.20s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 10.31s real 10.08s user 0.23s system </syntaxhighlight> The times are fairly consistent, and, roughly, real = user + sys. Next we add an arbitrary load to the system.

When you are running with hyper-threading (aka HT, HTT, Symmetric Multi-Threading (SMT), etc) enabled. Here's a simple demonstration. == NetBSD 4.0 on a Pentium 4 == The system here has a "Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz", single core (one "physical" CPU) with hyper-threading enabled (giving two "logical" CPUs), running NetBSD 4.0 with an SMP kernel. We run a deterministic unit of work on an idle system: <syntaxhighlight lang="text"> ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 10.28s real 10.05s user 0.24s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 10.26s real 10.05s user 0.20s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 10.31s real 10.08s user 0.23s system </syntaxhighlight> The times are fairly consistent, and, roughly, real = user + sys. Next we add an arbitrary load to the system. We assume the kernel will now schedule each thread on each logical CPU, and it is then up to the CPUs hyper-threading algorithm how the instructions are scheduled on the single core. <syntaxhighlight lang="text"> ksh$ perl -e 'while(1){}' & [1] 9382 ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 15.36s real 14.96s user 0.36s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 15.49s real 14.97s user 0.34s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 15.41s real 14.95s user 0.37s system </syntaxhighlight> OK, so what has happened here? The real time has increased by about 50%, but so has the user time.

When you are running with hyper-threading (aka HT, HTT, Symmetric Multi-Threading (SMT), etc) enabled. Here's a simple demonstration. == NetBSD 4.0 on a Pentium 4 == The system here has a "Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz", single core (one "physical" CPU) with hyper-threading enabled (giving two "logical" CPUs), running NetBSD 4.0 with an SMP kernel. We run a deterministic unit of work on an idle system: <syntaxhighlight lang="text"> ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 10.28s real 10.05s user 0.24s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 10.26s real 10.05s user 0.20s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 10.31s real 10.08s user 0.23s system </syntaxhighlight> The times are fairly consistent, and, roughly, real = user + sys. Next we add an arbitrary load to the system. We assume the kernel will now schedule each thread on each logical CPU, and it is then up to the CPUs hyper-threading algorithm how the instructions are scheduled on the single core. <syntaxhighlight lang="text"> ksh$ perl -e 'while(1){}' & [1] 9382 ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 15.36s real 14.96s user 0.36s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 15.49s real 14.97s user 0.34s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 15.41s real 14.95s user 0.37s system </syntaxhighlight> OK, so what has happened here? The real time has increased by about 50%, but so has the user time. On the same system with hyper-threading disabled, you would expect the user time to remain about the same, and the real time to approximately double. Here, because both threads are really sharing the same core and its resources, they tend to compete and slow each other down. However, as the real time has not doubled, the overall throughput of the system has increased over the uni-processor case. Also, adding more load only increases the real time, as only two threads can ever be executed in parallel. <syntaxhighlight lang="text"> ksh$ perl -e 'while(1){}' & [2] 12480 ksh$ perl -e 'while(1){}' & [3] 29686 ksh$ perl -e 'while(1){}' & [4] 12019 ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 38.14s real 15.12s user 0.33s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 34.45s real 15.11s user 0.25s system ksh$ time gzip -9 < zz > /dev/null 37.96s real 15.04s user 0.34s system </syntaxhighlight> For reference, the CPU tested was: <syntaxhighlight lang="text"> cpu0: Intel Pentium 4 (686-class), 2798.79 MHz, id 0xf25 cpu0: features 0xbfebfbff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR> cpu0: features 0xbfebfbff<PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CFLUSH,DS,ACPI,MMX> cpu0: features 0xbfebfbff<FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,HTT,TM,SBF> cpu0: features2 0x4400<CID,xTPR> cpu0: "Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz" cpu0: I-cache 12K uOp cache 8-way, D-cache 8KB 64B/line 4-way cpu0: L2 cache 512KB 64B/line 8-way cpu0: ITLB 4K/4M: 64 entries cpu0: DTLB 4K/4M: 64 entries cpu0: Initial APIC ID 1 cpu0: Cluster/Package ID 0 cpu0: SMT ID 1 cpu0: family 0f model 02 extfamily 00 extmodel 00 </syntaxhighlight> == Linux 2.6 on a Xeon X5650 == Second test, on Linux 2.6.38 on a 6-physical core Xeon (Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5650 @ 2.67GHz).

Bought a couple of these cheap 'Baofeng/Pofung BF-888S' (aka HST H-777) radios from eBay. What arrived was branded "SYNiC 888S", with a reported frequency range from 400 MHz to 470 MHz, which doesn't include the Australian UHF Citizen Band (CB) of 476.4125 to 477.4125 MHz inclusive. Both are likely based on the same 'BEKEN BK4810' radio chip, which may have a frequency range as large as 134 - 490 MHz if the BK4813 specifications match the BK4810. Trying to program them with [https://chirp.danplanet.com/ CHIRP], it rejected any frequencies outside the allowed range. YouTube videos recommended enabling developer mode and editing the channels via the advanced mode browser, which allows almost arbitrary values, however, a quick patch to CHIRP allowed expanding the allowed frequency range to include UHF CB.

I sat through hundreds of hours of sociology courses, and read gobs of sociology writing, and I never once heard or read a coherent statement. This is because sociologists want to be considered scientists, so they spend most of their time translating simple, obvious observations into scientific-sounding code. If you plan to major in sociology, you'll have to learn to do the same thing. For example, suppose you have observed that children cry when they fall down. You should write: "Methodological observation of the sociometrical behavior tendencies of prematurated isolates indicates that a causal relationship exists between groundward tropism and lachrimatory behavior forms." If you can keep this up for 50 or 60 pages, you will get a large government grant. ---- If I were a blue spider, I would certainly ride on a train all the way from Avallon to Paris, and I would set up my house on the nose of a chocolate penguin.

Elliot ---- My father (a lawyer) told me that company culture is driven from the top -- if it's the people who make the product, you're good; sell the product, you're OK.

We are a way for the cosmos to know itself.<br> -- Carl Sagan ---- In general we look for a new law by the following process. First we guess it. Then we compute the consequences of the guess to see what would be implied if this law that we guessed is right. Then we compare the result of the computation to nature, with experiment or experience, compare it directly with observation, to see if it works. If it disagrees with experiment it is wrong. In that simple statement is the key to science. It does not make any difference how beautiful your guess is.

With or without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.<br> -- Steven Weinberg ---- The concept of God is insulting and degrading to man -- it implies that the highest possible is not to be reached by man, that he is an inferior being who can only worship an ideal he will never achieve.<br> -- Ayn Rand ---- The greatest tragedy in mankind's entire history may be the hijacking of morality by religion.<br> -- Arthur C. Clarke ---- We are all without god – some of us just happen to be aware of it.<br> -- Monica Salcedo ---- Yes, I suppose it's odd that atheists sometimes say Jesus and Oh My God. But odder than the religious saying "let's be reasonable"?<br> -- Hugh Laurie, via Twitter, 2014-09-10 ---- It’s a strange myth that atheists have nothing to live for. It’s the opposite.
